Narrow, low step running along the northern edge of F5 between the NW platform F13 and the NE corner of space 71 (later space 111). Displays a 2-phase construction - primary modelling contemporary with the layout of building 1 (see unit 2120), with a later build-up using mudbrick to raise the step, presumably to compensate for the raised floor levels during cumulative re-plastering. This build-up (1997) comprised 2 lengths (1.12 m & 0.8 m long) either side of F26; and is later than the 2nd phase of F26
Discussion:
A strange feature, a 'ledge' which seems too narrow to be of much use; it may seem to accentuate the vertical gradation of levels north-to-south within space 71, but it may also be a product of the wall construction which also seems to just out in the lower courses. However, this phenomenon does occur at/below floor level & the ledge merely 'masks' out this rather than following it / being a product of it.
The two phases of this feature are interleaved between burial F44. |
