Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: infill construction cut pillar 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: posthole; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: U21279: this unit represent the infill of the body and the pit of pillar F3428. A plaster surround the pit built to support both posts in the body of the pillar F3428. It is located against the eastern wall and almost in the center of the wall. The infill bases pit of posts have been consolidated by clay and a small stone between the posts. The traces of charcoal appeared in the bottom of this construction pit. It is important to note that the pillar including posts were built in the first phase I. The excavation of this year confirmed that the pillars for phase II and III continued in height without posts. The body of the pillars are built by the packing with clay and plaster and then had been coated with sandy clay. A mudbrick is covered the base of the posts for this pillar confirmed our hypothesis. Pillar F3428 present one of four pillars are backed against the walls of the building 80.
