Category: Layer    dug in 2007

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: wall 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 0.38 x 0.28 x 0.25 m 

Discussion: This is a small frgament of solid mudbrick wall that arguably belonged to one of the later buildings in northern part of the excavated area, probably Building 62. It is composed of two orangish/mid brown and very distinct and homeogeneous bricks as well as two layers of mortar made of sandy and silty loam with a large number of charcoal. A nicely polished bone tool was found in the upper mortar layer. Upper part of the preserved wall was badly truncated from the south by later pit.

The preserved dimensions of bricks and mortar are as follows: (from the top to the bottom);
(1) brick: 0.28 x 0.10 x 0.12 m; (2) mortar: 0.36 x 0.15 x 0.05 m; (3) brick: 0.37 x 0.26 x 0.08 m; (4) mortar: 0.38 x 0.28 x 0.04 m
