Its mud bricks are clear, unlike the overlying deposit u. 20267. It runs E-W. Unexcavated at end of 2012 season.
Updated 3/8/2013: We have removed the top course of bricks belonging to wall f. 3952, because the fill (u. 30844) from sp. 520 was evidently undercutting them. It is apparent that something has badly damaged the bricks in the center of this wall, but it is possible that this is from later animal burrowing and not from adding these bricks (u. 30856) after filling the space. Wall f. 3952 is the southernmost of 4 adjacent walls in the center of trench 3. Excavating room fill u. 30844 has revealed that wall f. 3952 is actually built partly on top of an earlier pit which explains in part why the middle of it is so slumping and wrecked. The floors associated with this wall, in both spaces 520 & 515, have not been preserved and in fact, in space 520, we have reached the bottom courses of this wall. Once the west side of this wall is in phase, it can be removed in 2014. | | | | In situ Conservation: No | | Lifted: No | | | | Feature Relationships: | | abuts: (Click to view the record) 7171, 7172, 7173, 7252 | | cut by: (Click to view the record) 3951, 7163, 7188, 7191 | | | | Number of Related Diary Entries: 4 | | | | Conservation Recorded: No | | Related Photos: 4 (Opens as a group in a new window) | Buildings: (Click to view the record)
