This wall is very thin, it is sitting on the layer 5437. Allocated (5440) in 2002 excavations and continuation excavated in 2004 was allocated new number (10410) as F.1504.

This feature represents a mudbrick wall first thought to be the western limit of Building 42. Initially seen in 2002 during excavations for the shelter footings, and was given F825, assumed to be a continuation of a wall found further to the south. However, the wall was renumbered due to evidence to suggest that this is actually an internal wall built at a later date across floor surface (10411). Only c.0.1m remains due to heavy truncation.
Given feature number F1504, but also given unit number (10410) to account for finds recovered from mudbrick make up.
Wall consisted of a single course and bricks were of a light reddish brown colour, suggesting either heat treatment or burning at some stage in their lives. Due to the high levels of truncation created by Mellaart in the 1960s, it is impossible to say what or why this wall was here, and what it was delineating. Was it a later inclusion to separate particular activities? Further to the south, there is a suggestion that the wall acts as some form of boundary (W) for hearth F1507, and ultimately a 'dirty' space. This however is not conclusive but may act as a suggestion as to the walls purpose. (GSC 10/07/2004) |
