Category: Layer dug in 2010
Area: Trench 5
Interpretive Categories: room fill
Data Category Information: none
Dimensions: NS 1,7m - EW 2,2m - 0,1-0,15m deep
Discussion: Room fill in Space 341. It is difficult to see the walls as almost all are disturbed by animal burrows. The chunks of red painted plaster are located under the spots of darker soil, surrounded by a plaster line (see U.15139). First we thought, that the darker, rectangular appearing spots reflect a second phase of the wall, but they seem to be just pieces of mudbrick in roomfill. They are also very thin.
The mudbrick in the SE corner is in the rear part disturbed by an animal burrow, so there is no way to decide whether it is connected to the wall or not. Personally, I believe it just belongs to the room fill-
