Unit 8513

Category: layer    dug in 2002

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: wall 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: The unit consists of the top layer of the N wall of sp. 89. The wall is very damaged by a Byzantine grave and the erosion. We just clean it a little bit. It is a mud brick wall, the mud bricks are connected with mortar. The dimensions of the bricks - length 80-81 cm, thickness 7 cm.
The upper 7 layers (including 2 removed layers, only in the W part) contain inclusions of fine gypsym balls. The wall has a very thin salty layer on the surface. It is abutted by a mudbrick construction and another wall (see unit 8472).
