Foundation Trench (FT) 05; South-West corner coordinates: 1060.40/1184.38; Formation level: 1010.62m.
N-S running mudbrick wall.
From Archive Report 2007 ::
The sequence starts at formation level with two walls: F.2835 and F.2837. It is likely that F.2837 pre-dates wall F.2835 for reasons that will be described later. It appears that F.2835, an east-west aligned mudbrick wall, comprising of units (15484) (mudbricks) and (15485) (mortar), is somewhat anomalous to this area of the site in that the mortar, having a light cream, marl rich consistency, has mainly only been observed in buildings in the South Area (but also noted in FT 7). The full dimensions of the mudbricks remains unknown as they were only partially exposed and excavated and extending into the west of the foundation trench (about 0.25m) but appeared to be composed of a light yellowish brown, fine sandy silt matrix with little or no
inclusions. F.2835 whilst not being exposed to its foundations was exposed to a greater extent than F.2837, aligned in a rough North-South orientation for the length of the trench and had slumped heavily to the east. The mudbricks (15475) consisted of a firm light yellowish brown fine sandy silt measuring 0.6m x 0.4m x 60mm) and the mortar (15476) a firm dark greyish brown clayey silt. |
