Unit 22039

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: bricks 

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

Description: bricks within the western wall of B.77 

Discussion: There were 11 courses of bricks (U.22039) defined within the Western wall (F.3097) of B.77, Sp.337. The 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 southern part of the wall (F.3097), where bricks were burned or even baked. Divergent state was noticeable within northern segment of the structure where the bricks had no sign of burning. In order to record properly the mentioned circumstances 2 samples had been collected. S1 was assigned as the archive sample and it presents an example of burned part of the wall. S2 had been taken as an architecture sample due to it was not effected by the fire and it might be proceeded in the course of further analyzes.
