Cut of possible ?niche. First seen when removing room fill (10404) and uncovering plaster surface (10407). Interpreted as niches, with a possible connection with plaster debris (10505) (10406). Through the work of Mellaart in the 1960s, it was thought that these were some sort of footing, a 'posthole' to support pillars from which bull horns projected. The debris has since been associated to the bench F1503, and upon excavation, the niches are still likely to be as described above. Although fairly shallow (0.05m) these would still be deep enough to support a pillar, maybe approx. 0.5m.
The cut appears to go through the top layer of plaster (10407), but stops directly above the plaster surface below. There is no evidence to suggest that the pillar and niche were in place before the addition of the top plaster surface, I.e. no signs of lipping.
This has been re designated as a 'scar' (SF 28/09/11) |
