Unit 8710

Category: layer    dug in 2003

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Wall collapse 

Data Category Information: In Situ: non in-situ; Location: external; Material: brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: Length measured N-S, Width measured E-W 

Description: The wall is made up of three levels of mud brick/mortar groups forming numerous courses of bricks. The western most courses (which would have been the lowest in the wall when upright) were mortared with a light greyish yellow mortar. The mortar type changed approximately a third of the way up to a dark grey material and the highest portion of the wall would have been constructed with a light greyish yellow mortar.
Mudbrick-1/firm. 2 /light grey. 3 /clayey silt.
Mortar type 1-1/firm. 2 /light greyish yellow 3/clayey silt
Mortar type 2- 1/firm 2/ dark grey 3/clayey silt.
Bricj sixes range from 310mm to 450mm in length; they measure 140mm in width and the thickness ranges from 780mm to 110mm.
There were no inclusions finds given this number were recovered from the interface with the contexts below.
