Ten layers of grey bricks could be counted. The lengths of the bricks are c. 0,7-0,9m and the thickness 0,05-0,07m. The mortar was yellow and between 0,01-0,05m in thickness. At the northern side of the wall, where it was in contact with wall F.3646, wall plaster could be seen at a length of 1,10m. The layer of plaster was 0,04m thick and 14 thin layers could be counted. The eastern end of the wall was probably cut in the eastern end when the wall F.3627 was erected. There are indications in the sondage trench U.19591, that the wall continues at least 0,3m deeper than the exposed 0,82m.
2013 EXCAVATION SEASON:
In 2012 from stratigraphical and recording points of view the wall F.3679 was associated with the Sp.489. However, in 2013 after revealing its entire southern face it appeared that the feature really is the northern wall of the earlier structure recorded as Sp.511. It has been preserved up to 2,1m height and at the time remains the highest construction/feature within the mentioned Space. The others walls (F.7125, F.7126) are twice lower than F. 3679. It is made of dark-grey bricks and orange clay mortar in its lower part. However there are noticeable alterations within the texture of the mortar used within upper section which is composed mostly of sandy-silt and differ distinctively from described above. The southern face of the wall is coated by a single layer of light-grey plaster that covers the construction only up to 1,10 height. The latter might give an insight into the long-term of unroofed exposure or unpleasant conditions that effected the wall. One may assume that the wall F.3679 is actually a division construction between mentioned side-room (sp.511) and a main-room located northward. The structure behind the wall has been currently registered under the number: 518 and its exploration has not been accomplished in 2013 (see unit sheet 30137). Therefore, the entire nature of the wall (its northern side) remains unknown. | | | | In situ Conservation: No | | Lifted: No | | | | Feature Relationships: | | bonded with?: (Click to view the record) 7126 | | earlier than: (Click to view the record) 3646, 7302 | | | | Number of Related Diary Entries: 1 | | | | Conservation Recorded: No | Buildings: (Click to view the record)
