Description:
This feature number has been given to 4 walls that define space 230. Bricks are a reddish brown sediment surrounded by layers of light to mid-grey mortar. The walls are uniformly 0.23-0.25m in width and appear to cut into earlier walls on the north and south sides. The mud bricks are uniform in color and vary only slightly in dimension (length from 0.70 - 0.95m). The eastern wall is shorter than the western wall due to post depositional erosion. As a result the North and South walls are sloped. Mortar is clearly visible between each brick and is a consistent thickness of approximately 3 cm. There seems to be an extraneous brick attached to the SE corner of the walls (cf. 04/705). Walls are in good condition, w/out plaster, and clearly stop at al plaster layer (as in seen in the western wall). Feature 1601 may cut into the original wall in the western corner.
Discussion: NO NO NO (SF 07/07/10)
The feature appears to be in phase with the southern part of Sp. 229 and appears to be later than the northern part of Sp.229. The base of the wall is clearly marked by a plaster layer visible on the western wall - this may be a continuation of the plaster clump in the SE corner of Sp. 229. This is probably the remnants of a floor. The walls clearly cut into and sit on older walls (differentiated by a browner color and plaster lining as well as less visible brick lines) that are possibly contemporary with the northern part of Sp.229. The burial cut (F.1601) may truncate the western wall, although indications are sketchy at best. |
