Unit 30886

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: mortar of wall f.3872 

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

Discussion: This unit got recognized as a mortar layer of a very compact wall F.3872 sitting underneath two courses of mudbricks (U.30885). It seemed to be quite heterogeneous and consisted of a lot of small admixtures making the mortar very solid and strong. The mortar was relatively thick of ca. 8 cm. The mortar was used to seal off the structure from the wall (no number given yet) right beneath belonging to some kind of earlier building in Space 515.
