Unit 10095

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Fill below wall slumping,Niche fill 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: niche; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: Fill of possible niche. This context now appears to sit inm a cut made into the wall into which the plaster surface (10093) appears to extend into. The fill is probably a combination of mudbrick smf mortar used to block the niche after use. However the elongated form of the niche is difficult to explain and if this interpretation is correct then the niche would have formed a channel cut into the wall immediately above the floor.
