Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: Mud-brick
Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Material: brick; Deposition: homogeneous
Dimensions: 0.90 x 0.42 x 0.24 m
Discussion: Fragment of a solid building structure that consisted of two rows of mud-brick covered from south, west, and most probably east with plaster (20198). The upper row was made of one mud-brick about 90 cm long, 42 cm thick, and 10 cm high. The second row consisted of three mud-bricks oriented on a south-north axis. They were about 42 cm long, 34 cm thick, and 10 cm high. The whole structure was sitting on layer u20507 that included fragments of floor and pebbles. It was truncated from east by a burial cut and from north and east during Mellart's excavation. It might have formed a platform or a wall.
