Unit 20710
Category: Layer dug in 2016
Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: bricks in wall
Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Material: brick
Discussion: The unit comprises bricks being constructional elements of the wall F.3850. The wall on N-S alingment was placed in S part of Trench 4. The bricks were bonded with bricks of a perpendicular wall F.3852 indicating that these walls were built at the same time. The upper courses of the bricks were highly weathered and eroded making the recognition of their surface difficult. The shape and character of the wall was only possible to establish after lifting three courses of bricks.
The bricks were of unstandarized dimensions ranging from rectangular objects 88cm x 36cm to regularly squared ones 30cm x 30cm. Despite differences in size, their thickness was pretty similar and had ca. 9cm. The practice of reusing some of the bricks has been noticed. Remains of plaster were recorded on some of the bricks. The bricks appeared in a range of different colours: grey, orange and sandy.
