North wall of B.80. (SF 02.12.09)
18 courses of grayish bricks and brown mortar. Visible thick plaster line on the south face indicates that this is proabably a truncated north wall.
This wall is south of wall F.2532 but no clear relationship between the two walls is present
(added July 2012):
some microstrata observations are noted in the unit sheets but some general ponts about F2533 are as follows (please note that full excavtion of the wall has not yet occurred, only partial excavtion):
1.regular courses of brick and mortar occur excpet around the groove/niche at which point the layers become more silty and diffuse and regular courses and bricks became hard to discern. Distinct courses picked up again below the groove
2. The interior of the wall has been plastered and replastered at least 10-15 times, but not the exterior (the excavation did not reach the lower parts of the wall which may contain pigment).
3. The groove has probably not held an architectually bearing function but might still have worked as a beam for hanging textiles.
4. The centrally placed pillar has had a moulded top (F8432) which migh indicate that it had some kind of bearing function.
5. There is no physical connection to F2532, a wall belonging to B86 further in the north, due to a fill layer which makes it difficult to establish a statographic matrix at this moment. |
