Discussion: During excavation of this mortar of the wall, we found many inclusions such as bones, stones, clay balls, and shell. This was a very eroded wall with parts falling off in chuncks at times.
2015 excavation season-we removed that walls remains and added 225 lt for unit volume.


Possibly a midden retaining wall for Sp559 (equates with E.IX.25) - noted by James and Alex 2017.
