Unit 2594

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: bricks 

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

Dimensions: 5.40m N to S, 0.34m E-W, 0.2 to 0.25m 

Discussion: The two upper bricks in the middle and to the south were on the original section drawing considered to be part of the second phase, but it now seems like they are part of the third phase. They are layered in the mortar of phase three, which makes them part of this phase. The section drawing is corrected on a copy, not on the original drawings. Other corrections needed as well. New drawing made, see 97/171.

Near the south end the bricks were sloping outwards and some soot and very dark soil had come in between the bricks and the mortar. from the later fill outside the building.
