Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: mudbrick wall 

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

Discussion: This is a mudbrick wall running N-S, located in S part of Trench 4. Only upper part of the wall was excavated, as it was believed that its upper part made of gray and orange bricks was in fact a later wall placed directly on the top of an earlier one, made only of orange bricks. However, it seems that this was in fact one wall. Its lower part will be excavated in 2016. The wall was characterized by the bricks beimg placed in different arrangement.
In 2015 season the following courses of bricks were removed:
1st course:
From the South: orange (55x70x4 cm), gray (30x72x7 cm), western brick orange (32x44x8 cm),eastern gray (38x35x8 cm),gray (38x32x8 cm)
2nd course:
From the South :Gray brick very destroyed by later truncation (44x27x9 cm), western: gray (35x28x8 cm), eastern orange (50x30x8 cm),western gray (60x32x8 cm), and eastern (49x30x9 cm).
3rd course:
From the South: gray bricks only:
1st (58x36x8 cm), 2nd (63x30x8 cm), 3rd, western (56x36x8 cm), eastern (36x36x8 cm).
4th course: gray bricks only
From the South:
1 western (20x20x8 cm), 2 eastern (34x50x8 cm), 3: 64x35x10 cm, 4:60x30x10 cm.
5th course:
Only gray bricks were removed
From the south:
1:20x12x9,2: 38x40x6 (the remaing bricks in same course were orange, and thus thought to be earlier).
