Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: construction cut 

Data Category Information: Description: foundation trench

Dimensions: 1.14 x 0.54 x 0.10m 

Discussion: construction cut for walls F.1599 and F.2131 which were built at the same time as the N and e walls of B.55. The construction cut is very clear truncating the laminated midden layers of Sp.133 and backfilled with the same midden deposits with the laminations removed by the process. The construction cut was for the constriction of the main walls of B.55 and the double wall surroundinf the north and west side of the structure. Below the consuction cut the walls of another, earlier building are visible but there was a very slight difference in their alignment compared to the later, B.55 walls.
