Unit 3240

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: collapsed wall,mortar 

Data Category Information: In Situ: non in-situ; Location: building; Material: mortar; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: see reverse; 1.1 m N-S/0.95 m W-E, 0.08m thick 

Discussion: Mortar in wall lying horizontally in space 156, building 5. Was found under a place where the W wall of the room (still in situ F227) has been damaged. High probability the horizontal wall is part of the W wall, fallen or pulled down deliberately.
Relations: the fallen wall rests on an accumulated deposit (3228 -3243) on the floor, but the S end of the wall rests directly on the floor (3253).
Dimensions: the horizontal wall is 1.1 x 1 m (N-S/E-W) depth: the mortar varies: length:1.1 - 0.22 m, width:0.18 - 0.04 m. 

Recognition: Horizontal wall under infilling. 

Definition: Defined by the crumbled ends of the wall. 

Execution: Excavated by trowel, leaving 1 baulk. 

Condition: Moist. 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: 10 YR 6/4 light yellowish brown 

Texture: clay 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: <1% charcoal 

Post-depositional Features: salts 

Basal Boundary: partly on floor, on accumulated deposit
