Interpretive Categories: brick 

 

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

 

Dimensions: 3.37 x 0.35 x 0.94 m 

 

Discussion: Upper half of wall was exposed for years, so it had eroded and portions had been reinforced/conserved. Other portions were well conserved and we were able to remove large pieces of brick or measure entire bricks in some cases. Preserved brick ranged in size from .33 x .055 x .095 m to .23 x .07 x .13 m to .335 x .06 x .17 m. To .80 x .65 x .17 m. On the western half of the wall there were portions of wall where the face of the brick on the outside of the building appeared burnt.
