Discussion: This is the Northern part of a rubble situated in the central part of the area excavated in 2007. The entire range of the rubble was recorded as a rectangular layer restricted from the south by walls 13578, 13581 and kind of passage between them. Its northern border was not easily distinguishable. As a result, the rubble was arbitrarly divided onto two parts. This decision was aimed as better recognizing the stratigraphic sequences between Western and Eastern part of the Building 72. The arbitary boundary between N and S parts was set on the "V" grid line running W-E 988.80 - and this is the southern limitation of the unit 13528.
The rubble consisted of fragments of broken bricks and other construction materials (eg. Plasters, mortars). The material indicates that the rubble was partly made of elements of collapsed wall and earlier floor. These fragments were intentionally dumped here. The basal oundary was recognized by the change in quality and quantity of accumulated deposits during the exploration in the western part of the unit [13582] two walls were exposed. One of them [15227] was noticed in the Northern part of the unit [13582] and it clearly defined the Northern unit of the rubble area. The second wall [15228] was perpendicular to the wall [15227] and divides space of Building 72 onto its western and eastern parts. The entire rubble seemt to be the Eastern space of the Building 72, which may have not been used as intensively as its western part as indicated by preservation of clearly distinguishable floor [13583, 15206]. The rubble [15205, 13582] defines the phase of the Eastern part of the building. In that phase, it was used as a dumping place for building construction elements.

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.
X Finds Material: nothing recorded
Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
