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

 

Discussion: This unit consisted of badly preserved bricks from wall F.8269 situated in W part of space 589. The wall had been highly affected by erosion therefore it wasn’t clear how many bricks contained. Uncovered only one, very short course of bricks (~5 cm). Base on that It seems to be more than possible that uncovered wall remnants were the basal part of this feature and the upper part was destroyed by post-depositional factors as trampling and mentioned before erosion. Highly packed sunken floor layer was lapping onto the E edge of this unit (U.31820).
Unit 21840 was sealing very thick and compound layer of rubble (U.31844). Therefore, the wall construction perhaps was built up on a rubble/trash material.
