| This is an extremely burnt wall forming the W boundary of building 120-- a pre-Roman but post-Neolithic building constructed in the terracing cut [30229]. It is made of mud-brick, and shows some evidence of having once been plastered. It connects the other two identified walls of building 120 (f. 3948 and f.7150) which are the same in construction. In excavating this feature, we quickly recognized that following its rectangular shape in plan would cause us to surpass the terracing cut [30229] which it was built into. The cut is quite jagged and irregular, and it seems as if this wall's bricks were packed into the cut, as well as the oven below, rather opportunistically. This wall, however, unlike f.7150, was built before the makeup layer u.30273 of wall f.7153, suggesting it is a true exterior wall, unlike f.7150. Although the construction techniques were rather shoddy, it was plastered later, as if to cover up the haphazard materials and techniques underneath. |
