Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: bin; Material: brick

 

Dimensions: 58 cm NS + 50 cm EW; & cm thick, 50 cm high 

 

Discussion: Side walls of bin F.2005. It's the western limit of the bin, as well as the southern one. The southern segment of the wall 19960 also functions as wall for F.2004.
Made of clay (mud brick material) it got fired heavily during the burning of the house.
It was truncated all over but not by the collapse of the building but the person who over excavated around it.

Added 2013:
Excavated 03/07/2013. Before excavation badly eroded an covered in conservation consolidatnts. Lower part of the S wall was different in colour than upper and it abbuted yellowish plaster (presumably from older phase). While upper yellowish brick-like part seemed to abbut the wall directly. The unit was separated from U11922 by thin yellow highly organic layer that might have been used as a adhesive joining both walls that must have been plastered altogether soon after their erection.
