Pillar/ possible post scar on eastern wall F1523 of B53. No given but not excavated in 05 season.
7/08/06: Pillar scar excavated in 2006 season. Found to have a complex sequence.
10 - removal of pillar and subsequent fill into void - (12589)
9 - plastered wall & pillar - (11380)
8 - plastered platforms (phase II) - N (11384) S (12520)
7 - plastered platforms (phase I) - N (12564) S (12550)
6 - grey layer (back fill in cut?) - (12585)
5 - plastered in base cut (back fill) - (12587)
4 - mortar around pillar - (12588)
3 - placement of pillar - no trace
2 - cut made for pillar - (12594)
1 - floor make up on N&S platforms - N (12579) S (12580)
The function of the pillar is not immediately clear. It is not placed in a corner where pillar scars are more common in the spaces of Buildings. By the scar would have perhaps have been 10-15 cm wide by 0.10cm deep. This size is relatively quite small and may not have been used as a main support structure. Its placement in the house matrix (before floor & wall plastering) suggests that it was however integrated into the main design of the house/building.
The pillar scar suffers from severe animal activity. This has distrubed the would be fill (12589) of the pillar scar subsequent to its removal. |
