Feature 403

Area: South 
 
Dug in Year: 1999 
Feature Type: wall 
 
Location: north wall of space 160 
 
Grid X: 918.9  Grid Y: 968.6
 
Runs E-W at north end of space 160. Brick & mortar of similar colour and material, mortar slightly thinner than bricks. Red/orange (4271) brick in lower half though not all the way across.The western end of wall 403 bonds with wall 405. The top of wall 401 leans over wall 403 and so had to be removed before the rest of wall 403 could be removed. Plaster on wall 400 continues southwards into the fill beneath wall 403, so it looks as if wall 400 was earlier, and was cut into to build wall 403. Wall 403 seems to be later than wall 400 + wall 401 which it has cut into. Whilst the plaster on wall 400 continues southwards through the fill under wall 403 ( not yet dug ) it's southern end has been cut away by wall 403. Similarly wall 401 has been cut just short of wall 403 and the space in between packed with infill 4285. The western end of wall 403 is bonded with wall 405. Therefore it looks as if space 159 and space 160 were originally one large space and became divided by wall 405. After removal of wall 403 it became clear that wall 403 had sliced across wall 401 + 400, dividing the larger space into two, (see cut 4336). (The cut had undercut both walls 400 + 401 which was infilled post wall construction by 4285. To the east wall 403 was cut by Mellaart activities but his level VII plan shows wall 403 extending east beyond the eastern wall alignment of space 159. See sections 95/12 and 99/333 (sf))
