Description: bricks within eastern wall of B.77 

 

Discussion: There were 13 (in S-part) and 11 (in N-part) courses of bricks (U.17586) defined within the eastern wall (F.3095) of B.77. An average size of a singular brick might be presented as follows: 85cm x 30cm x 10cm. The bricks varied in colors due to high temperature that was caused by the fire within mentioned edifice during its abandonment phase. The effect of the conflagration was most evident in the upper part of the feature, where bricks were burned or even baked. Divergent state of blistering was noticeable within lower segment and within the corners of the structure where the bricks almost had no sign of burning.
