East wall of 112 - in two distinct sections. At south end it stood relatively high and was composed of distinct courses of bricks of type A + B (see 2009, 2376 for these), with little trace of wall plaster. At the north end the wall stood 13 cm west of (inside) the south face, had a plaster face (2746) surviving about 0.2 m high as initially revealed (though it goes much further) and was composed of indistinct bricks of something like type C - because of poor visibility bricks and mortar removed together as 2750.
1998: This was fully excavated in 1998 + caused endless problems. Last year it was thought to be a continous E wall to space 112, as a later support addition abutting the main wall 259. However as was recorded last season, the S half of the wall was composed of different brick type to the N half. This was because the S half of the wall was the only later addition abutting wall 259. The N half was part of wall 259. To the S wall 253 was cut into the top of wall 286. The W bound S wall of space 112. To the N it continues beyond the trench area. Wall 259 slopes mainly westwards which accounts for the need of a support wall 253. It abutts the late support wall 85 to the S. The strange thing is that when 253 was removed it revealed wall plaster + floor horizons adhering to the wall face behind. This is an anomally as it implies that floors overlay the earlier wall 259. Which does not quite work. Indeed it does not make sense at all, it implies that another building was present of which this wall and floor plaster is the only survival and indiaction (SF). |
