Unit 11031

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Mudbrick wall 

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

Description: FAST TRACK 

Discussion: We removed the first course of this mudbrick wall (F. 1752) and noted few inclusions. IN profile and in plan, it was finally determined that this wall is truncated by wall F. 1755, its perpendicular to the East. However, the wall F. 1755 had no courses at the next level, whereas F. 1752 continues in a second course at the next level. The remnants of plaster (only a few intact patches) were noted along the N face of this feature, on both courses.

FAST TRACK 

Recognition: Mudbrick wall was identified as we descended in unit 11016

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
