Buttress (?) in the southwest of space 310, half still sticking in the south section of the trench. Relation to wall 5058 not clear, will have to be clarified after extending the Trench towards south. Buttress already undercut during the 2009 season. Does not have a straight base and seems to be sitting on fill. Top not preserved as so close under the surface of the mound.
3301 belongs to the later wall phase in Sp.310 together with walls 2408, 2427, 5058 and buttress 3302. 3301 and 3302 might be called butresses or maybe short pieces of wall with an opening in between.
Grey mudbrick and pale yellow mortar covered by thick white plaster, most probably two layers of it.
JMR 22.8.2010: Buttress F. 3301 together with 3302 forms border between spaces 310 and 454. Original (reconstructed) dimensions noted above, but southern part badly truncated by Byzantine pit F.3331.
Lower base already visible in Sp. 310/453 / see 09/254.
Buttress consists of dark grey brick. Pale yellow mortar (at least 8 lines of mortar and 10 layers of brick) with thick white plaster. No bricks visible in plan. Prabably abutting wall F. 3058, but not clearly visible. Southern corner between those features is pointy, but filled with plaster to look rectangular. 8 mortar lines and 10 mudbrick layers visible in part cut by 3331.
JMR 14.8.2011: During the 2011 season, it became clear that the mudbrick and plaster construction separating Space 453 and Space 461 (under Building 106) was not part of F.3301, but remains of a wall F.3359, on top of which F.3301 was constructed as a buttress. NS 0.9m, EW 1m, height 0.97m. |
