Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: mudbrick wall 

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

Dimensions: 1.80 x 0.50 x 0,26 

Discussion: It is a mudbrick wall situated in the middle of the extension. The unit was distinguished in season 2003 and excavated in 2004. The wall was oriented NE - SW and all bricks were put horizontally.
The wall consisted of two layers of mudbricks - in upper layer there were 3 of them , in lower - 2. Lower layer was more destroyed and here the bricks differed more in dimensions (from 40 x 40 x 10 to 40 x 40 x 5 cm) as in upper layer they had 40 x 40 x 15 cm.
In the base of the unit different kind of bricks (of orange colour) wes noticed and therefore the exploration of the unit was finished.
