N/S Mudbrick wall in FT07. 7 courses visible, total width unknown, depth 0.8m and not fully exposed. Two types of mudbrick used in construction (15624) and (15632). Both bonded by clay mortar (15625)- a very thick mortar- up to 70 mm thick in most cases.
Northern part of wall appears vague in section and suspect that at this point the wall ends and meets ande E/W wall which heads west into section.
DISCUSSION
N/S wall, probably part of a building, return at Ne end suggest this is the eastern external wall of a structure. Two brick types and a single mortar suggests the buildingers were not too concerned about having identical materials in the construction.
Wall F 2841is build close (parallel) to F 2840 wall, but a gap exists between them. I would suggest that F 2841 is later than F2840.
As the structure to which F2840 belongs goes out of use F 2841 is constructed. Room fill (15641) is dumped into the space to the north of F 2840 and butts up against F 2841. There is no evidence that F2841 is in a cut and why dig down 7 courses plus to build a wall.
They can't be contemporary, as plaster (15646) on N face of F2480 lips round NW corner into tiny gap between walls and presumably, originally down W face as well. This is also the reason why F2480 can't be later than F2481. |
