Unit 20716
Category: Layer dug in 2016
Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: mudbrick of the Neolithic wall
Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick; Deposition: homogeneous
Discussion: This unit is consisted of a few courses of mudbricks of the Neolithic wall (F.3851) located in SE corner of Trench 4. Stratigraphic analysis made it possible to define this wall as contemporaneous with the adjacent wall constructions - F.3850 & 3852. They represent a major reconstruction of the space of earlier B.150, which has been defined as B. 152. All these walls were erected on the top of the flooring layers of earlier B. 150 at the same time and. Their construction had a form of one constructional event as indicated by a similar shape and size of bricks and its permanent binding. It is worth noting that this wall was erected following cutting out a part of the E wall of B.150 and then using the space left after its removal. This wall is basically sitting on the original basal part of the E wall of B.150. There are some indications that older bricks may have been reused during the construction of these walls. On the east side, the mudbricks of this wall were abutting the other wall construction which extends beyond the limit of excavations (no unit/feature number yet), most likely the W wall of yet another building directly west of B.150.
