The upper part of this wall is clearly associated with building 108 and the abutted bench F.3638. It is made of yellow silty clay bricks that looks the same all the way to the bottom of the wall, 1,36m deeper, where it seems to stand on an older wall made of grey bricks. Approximately half way down there is an overhang of bricks in the northern part of the wall and a step in the southern. This could indicate that it was built in two phases.
Further excavation in 2013 by A. klimowicz:
Feature 3627 was assigned as the Eastern wall of the Sp.488/489. It was erected directly after performing foundation cut through thick (1,40m) midden deposit and finding a ground stable enough to set the wall. The obtained data from the eastern section indicate that there must have been a grand need to erect the structure (B.108) on the particular spot (location) and the work was conducted under a pressure so that must have caused of course constructional mistakes. One of the inaccuracy was evidenced within Eastern wall (F. 3627) in particular in a slumping first five brick courses (U.20676) Eastward, and then performing thicker mortar (U.20677) just to maintain a flat and horizontal level after the fault.
The subsequent 6th course of the bricks was in that case a kind of repairing phase that was emphasized by the presence of a ledge. The overhangs (5-8cm) attempted to keep vertical line in subsequent upper part of the wall, that started inundated just after setting the first mentioned courses due to unstable (midden-like) ground. |
