| | Area: TPC | | | | Dug in Year: 2013 | | Feature Type: wall | | Feature Subtype: | | | | Location: along S edge of Trench 3 | | | | Grid X: 949.65 Grid Y: 948.82 | | | | This wall is an extremely burnt wall, running E-W, connecting to f.3984 and is one of the walls delineating sp. 509. It has a portion of a roof finial lying along the top of the exposed section. Two mini-walls jut out from it to the North, the function of which is unclear. Some sections of plaster remain, suggesting the entire wall (and its mini-extensions) were completely plastered when this wall was built. It is unclear whether this is an exterior or interior wall of building 120, as erosion has destroyed many architectural remains to the W and S. In excavating this wall, we found about 7 roof finials, stacked in perpendicular-oriented layers within the wall. The bricks were quite crumbled and eroded, which made finding the S extent of the wall extremely difficult. In the end, it seemed to protrude into the S edge of the trench. We also realized that this wall was actually built on top of the floor makeup layer u. 30273. This means that f.7150 likely represents a later, interior wall that was constructed rather opportunistically, out of less-than-optimal materials. In finding the W extent of the wall, we realized the cut [30299] proceeded unpredictably into Neolithic mud-brick material and that f.7150 was actually built in/on top of an earlier oven. Its bricks were packed inside and around this oven, then packed as well into the jagged cut. This wall seems like quite an afterthought in the history of this building, judging by its construction materials and techniques. | | | | In situ Conservation: No | | Lifted: No | | | | Feature Relationships: | | above: (Click to view the record) 0, 7153, 7174, 7177, 7192 | | abuts: (Click to view the record) 3984, 7059, 7159 | | | | Number of Related Diary Entries: 1 | | | | Conservation Recorded: No | | Related Photos: 2 (Opens as a group in a new window) | Buildings: (Click to view the record)
