Unit 4490

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Fill 

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

Dimensions: 4.60m EW, 0.10m NS 

Discussion: The fill comes over the southern face of wall 503 and 497. Due to see the southern face of wall 503, it needs to be cleaned. After that, if we can not see any wall face yet, we will continue to excavate a bit more. We are expecting to see the highest level of truncated or collapsed wall 497 and south face and the bottom of wall 503. 

Recognition: The deposit recognized by its crubly texture and yellowish colour and it seems as it has many different type of material.
