Unit 2590

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Bricks 

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

Dimensions: 0.39 m W- E / 5.5 m N-S / 0.35 m 

Description: It is recognised by colour and different texture. Crumbly, less than 2 mm and dry.

Consisted some organic such as silicified plant remains, very small amount of sand and stones but generally silt characterised the unit's structure. Very plastic, sticky, silty clay and fine granular crumbly texture. 

Discussion: Dimensions of the normal brick size are 7 x 34 x 15 or 7 x 34 x 34 or 7 x 34 x 103 cm, within this courses these types of mud bricks are identified. They are reached from N to S almost horizontally and almost parallel to the ground level due to thickened mortar layer.

However this type of brick patterns with combining material which is dark grey layer of mortar is also continued visibly N, S and W walls of the building of the N area/
