Unit 7830

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: wall 

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

Dimensions: 1.60 x 0.30 x 0,17 

Discussion: It is a mudbrick wall situated in N part of an extension and oriented E - W. It consisted of 1 layer of 3 bricks placed horizonatally. The one on E end of the line had dimensions 25x30x10cm (it could be cut by the limit of excavations) while two others had dimensions 25x35x10cm.
The wall 7830 was the youngest in the sequence of walls surrounding ( from 3 sides) the floor (unit 8986) with a mating (unit 8984) lying on it. The wall 7830 was situated on its S edge and older walls (6952 and 8987) on its W and N sides - these last two were registered as 'same as' because of their relationship to their stony basement.
The oldest of this sequence of walls was wall 10924 on which wall 8730 was placed on the whole width of its N line and partly on its S row (on an approximetely half of its width). The other part of this line was destroyed.
The mating 8984 was backed against the wall 8730 so older than the mating.
The basal boundary of the wall was inclined in E so the lowest differed from 1017.84 to 1017.91 (in its W part).

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
