Description:
A depression against wall F1564 at the north end of F2129- the main floor area of Sp 227 in Bldg 58.
Possibly an original cut- subsequently 'filled'/ covered by floor surfaces of 2129 at least down to plaster floor 13219. (Since no deeper than this layer was excavated in 2006 the presence of an original cut is a hypothesis and the feature cannot be considered completed).
Discussion:
At some point after layer 13219 (or possibly a later floor layer) was laid, the north wall of Bldg 58 appears to have slumped. It is possible that an original cut of a feature (ie F2251- recess/ niche maybe?) undermined the wall. A cut into wall F1564 seems visible but is unclear. This slumping seems to have pushed a large section of wall plaster -13266- into the depression. At this point a lump of plaster-13252- seems to have been pushed up against this wall plaster- perhaps to try to keep it in place. Another slumped section of damaged wall plaster- 13222- was packed into the depression immediately in front of 13266. Following this it seems the depression was filled- by 13217 and 13218- either as a deliberate attempt to level the depression up to the new floor surface, or as a result of further slumping from wall F1564. It is possible that later floor layers than 13219 covered this 'fill' but the truncation of the floor surfaces in the north of Sp 227 and the artificial 'overhang' created by the slumping of F1564 made this difficult to determine. It is recommended that wall F1564 be dropped to properly see the extent of F2251 as well as the dropping of floor layers below 13239. This could easily change the interpretation. |
