Unit 21694

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: bricks within the constr. element F.7866 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: The bricks (21694) together with the mortar (21695) constituted together a constructional element F.7866. The number of courses of the presenting building material differed depending on the position and placement. For instance within the Northern part there was only one course of the brick recorded. And in the Southern segment there were 4 courses recognized. Almost whole eastern face of the feature was truncated by the cut 21699 that was performed in order to set within it the solid base under the eastern wall (F.3095) of overlying B.77.
In the course of the research it was possible to define relationship between the constructional element F.7866 and the remaining older wall (F7149) of B.132. The bricks of the first mentioned above structure overlapped counterparts in their lower segment to the extent of 70 cm.

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.
