JMR 12.8.2008: Buttress defining the southern limit of space 345. Most of it is sticking in the southern section of the trench, therefore ist extensions are not quite clear.
Looking at the section of the southern profile, it seems os if there was room fill east of 5076, therefore 5076 would not be a wall meeting 5075 but a buttress. This hypothesis has to be checked.
Consists of at least six vertical layers of mudbrick. Either not plastered or plaster eroded or was removed by excavators.
ER 29.8.2009: Was identified as a wall in 2008, now identified as a buttress by further excavation. As the fearture is half buried under S profile, no units are defined yet.
JMR 25.8.2010:
Buttress F. 5076 is within sp. 345 Its outlines as well as relations to wall F. 5068 is unclear, as the southern part of both features is badly disturbed (Byzantine disturbance U. 15161).
The buttress consists of reddish-grey bricks (8 layers, no bricks visible in plan) and yellowish mortar. No plaster coating preserved.
JMR 28.08.2013:
F.5076 is the only buttress in B.126. Its northern and part of the eastern facade were uncovered precously they are plastered but not very flat.
The outlines of the southern part were exposed in 2013. |
