| Entry: | Together with Ugur we had worked today mainly on the Northern wall of space 488 (F.3626). The task aimed to excavate lower part of the mentioned construction and recognize its specification. In particular we focused on tracking the relationship between the wall and the backside of the oven superstructure from B.77.
It became clear that the lower layers of the wall were set against the common constructional rules maintained wherever on site. Due to lack of space that was restricted by already existed walls (from the south F.3646, and from the north F.3096), builders were forced to load reused bricks and paste them using mortar probably directly throwing mixture into prepared before foundation cut. Consequently, in the course of the exploration we evidenced broken bricks of different texture placed in varied position that were immersed in irregular paste of mortar.
What is important from the stratygraphical point of view, before erecting the wall (F. 3626) builders covered whole above mentioned fire installation using only mortar material coating the dome of the structure. In other words the construction F.3626 respects the oven, therefore the wall has later origins than the fire installation.
Additionally,Additionally, it is highly plausible that the southern wall of B.77 (F.3096) had already existed when nearby space 488/489 had been under construction. |
