Unit 17950

Category: Layer    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: brick 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: external; Material: brick; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: F. 1460 is located in the SE part of sp. 226 and abuts F. 1458. It extends to E in the area, which is not currently excavated.
F. 1460 was recently defined. On the plans from season 2003 it seemed that there are buttresses at wall 1458. After removal of midden layers (U. 8892) we were able to lelease both walls and to find out that these were not buttresses but wall F. 1460, which was truncated at least at 2 places (by F. 1452 and other cuts).
F. 1460 is poorly preserved due to the erosion (it was too close to the surface). It consists of 2 (3) courses of pale orange-brown bricks, made of crumbly clay. The bricks are 6-7 cm thick and are bonded by gray mortar. The current height of the wall (SE corner of sp. 226) is 29 cm.
We are not certain about the function of F. 1460 or if it is part of a building, situated further E. (Taken from feature sheet, SF 05/12/2009)
