Unit 19441

Category: Layer    dug in 2012

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: mudbrick 

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

Discussion: An archive sample was taken of a brick in wall F.3623, because it was supposed to be excavated, but the interpretation changed. The wall appears to be older than wall F.3624, previously recognised as the earlier one.

Further excavation in 2013:
The unit was associated with mortar U.20675.
During the execution of the wall F.3623 it was possible to record 12 courses of the bricks in the highest point of the Southern wall of Sp.489 (S-E corner). The described building material was uncovered in good condition that allowed to distinguish particular components of the wall and record their dimensions. The heights of the bricks evaluated from 8-7.5 cm, their width oscillated between 30 and 32cm and length 87-90cm. Additionally, within the wall there were also half-size components evidenced, and their use was involved probably with an attempt to maintain subsequent order in the particular courses.

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
