Area: North

Dug in Year: 2013

Feature Subtype:

Location: on platform in western part of B52

Grid X: 1046.16 Grid Y: 1168.83

The feature become visible after arbitrary removal of the plaster and make-up layers covering the platform F2177 as a line plastered from S and E side and cut in the E by the cut u.30505 made for the step F7123. The plan of the feature seemed very regular with light gray and mid (dark towards fire affected NE corner) gray periodically repeated patches.
The feature was built on top of the floor of earlier platform (U30519) and the bench F7118 (forming a ridge on top of it) and the space between the walls and the wall of the space (F2106) was filled with infill (U20657) soon after that. The light gray layers seems to be forming the coating (the sides and the bottom) of the partition walls and the darker, more friable materials forms its core. The inner sides of the walls were concave with clay applied in an erratic way without paying attention to creating smooth surfaces, which left hand and finger prints suggesting the way it was applied.
The feature was later at some point reconstructed around its SE corner joining it with unknown plastered feature F7316 to form plastered surface on its E side.

The N part forming the ridge on top of the bench F7118 was excavated in 2013. Two units U30526 and U30527 were assigned to the coating and the core respectively. Both are without a doubt the same as the rest of the partition walls.
