| Entry: | We (JHB and I) have continued to excavate unit 16966. This layer is present on all the space 342 (wall, buttress excluded). Behind east buttress (F. 5053), a lot of mortar, mud brick (black, compact) and clay (white, compact) are present. At the beginning we thought about a collapse but it seemed this concentration (F. 3353) could be belonging to the buttress. It’s also possible interpret this structure as a “construction” like for example F.3303. This new feature (F. 3353) is composed by a layer of mortar and white clay and another layer of black mud brick. This structure lies on a heterogeneous layer in which we are stopped. We have also beginning to remove the clay present on the fill of unit 16966. On this east part of the space, many painted plaster are been found. The painted part was found upside down (result of collapse?). |
