| | Area: Trench 5 | | | | Dug in Year: 2008 | | Feature Type: wall feature | | Feature Subtype: | | | | Location: South of F.2428, east of sp 340 | | | | Grid X: 696.356 Grid Y: 977.334 | | | TEB 29.7.2008: Buttress defining the eastern limit of space 340. Is plastered with a pale yellow plaster (17238) all around ist face leading towards to the space. Probably forming a corner with wall 2428, but relationship has not yet been clarified due to disturbance (U.16823). The relationship to the structures in the East has to be clarified as well.
The southeathern corner of the buttress has been truncated by grave = unit 16883.
No individual mudbricks identified.
JMR 22.8. 2010: Buttress F.5052 forms one of the four buttresses in the (probable) lower storey of building 98. It separates Spaces 340, 452 and 450. Buttress consists of reddish-grey mudbrick. Some plaster remaining in south, east and west, no brick/ mortar visible in plan. Upper part of 5052 very disturbed by pits and graves. Buttress at least 0.44m high (18.8. In Space 340) originally, during the 2010 season the upper ca.25cm were removed to check stratigraphy in this area.
5052 abuts F.2428, there is a very thin gap or crack (1cm) in between them. Lower part of 5052 is abutted by mudbrick construction (bench?) F.3334 in South and East. 3334 is put against the plaster of 5052 - thus probably a later addition. F.3320 and 3335 seem to abut F.5052, as they seem to respect ist original outlines, but plaster coating of F.5052 not preserved in this part, so might as well be cut by 3335 and 3320. Possibly not only 3334, whose base does not continue down to the same level as other features in B.98 (walls, buttresses), but also F.3320, 3325 and 3321 might be later additions to B.98. 3320 and 3335 might have cut eastern continuations of 2428 and 2429 and also eastern part of 5052.
JMR 14.8.2011
After the 2011 season, the base of F.5052 was visible in Space 340 and 452 (points taken with the dumpy level):
