Unit 20211

Category: Layer    dug in 2012

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: mortar 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Material: mortar; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0,88 x 0,22 x 0,56 m 

Discussion: Associated with bricks U.20210.
During the execution of the wall F. 7053 (in 2012) it was possible to record 4 courses of the mortar that varied in their heights. The height of the courses varied between 3 and 8 cm (from the top: I-3cm; II-7cm; III-8cm; IV-4cm). Taking into consideration the above presented wide range of changeable dimensions, the thicker layer of mortar might sometimes have been placed in the wall instead of a brick, in order to maintain a horizontal line of the course; or to fasten bricks stronger.

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.
