Not excavated in 1996, but drawn
Wall 74 lies at the northern end of space 159. It is made of the same material as walls 400 and 401, a light/mid brown sandy clayey siltbrick and light grey clayey mortar. The wall runs east-west and is relatively flat. It bonds on its western edge to wall 400 and on its eastern edge it forms a small southward buttress forming a jamb to a crawlhole 589 which is then numbered as wall 401. It looks as if walls 74, 400 and 401 were constructed at the same timeand are actually the same wall. The very northern extent of wall 400 where it joins with wall 74 was removed at the same time as wall 74 and treated as wall 74. This northern section is what remains of wall 400 nortyh of the part removed by Mellaart. On closer inspection it looks as though wall 74 is actually bonded with wall 400 and there is a thin skim of wall 74 continuing east as the north wall of space 180

Wall 74 is part of the north wall of building 24, level VII, to the east in space 180 the continuation of this wall has either collapsed post '60's or was dug in the '60's. The small southward extension represents a 'buttress' forming a doorjamb where Mellaart records a crawlhole. There was no obvious evidence of this as the area was used as a barrow run in the 60's, but the crawlhole was retrospectively numbered as 589. The southbound continuation of the wall is represented as wall 401.
NB/ During the '99 season, this wall was mistakenly referred to as wall 73. Records have been changed but some may have slipped the net! |
