Curving single course mudbrick wall. Has been well and trully truncated to south by Mellaart's huge trench. Curves outwards from west around to east (see overleaf). Also truncated to east by the later disturbance cut 5471 that truncates midden material. The full eastern extent of this wall was not exposed since the level reqd for S Shelther in this area (1009.70) was reached before this could be ascertained. Orangish mudbrick.
Not excavated.

This wall curves around in a southerly direction to its western extent exposed. This implies that it does not have a definite relationship with the midden to the north or at least this single course mudbrick wall was not constructed to constrain midden material (which may have been the function of wall F824 to the west.
Instead this may be some sort of structure - circular compound or otherwise -- certainly not part of a building. In Mellaart section hard to see wall so may only be 1 course cc. (?)

Wall F.843 lies parallel to and abutting wall F.829 of phase 392, it’s formed of bricks (5481) and mortar (5482) and bricks (5483) and mortar (5484) form wall F.833. Formation horizon was reached mid sequence such that it’s relationship to neighbouring Space 392 cannot be established but based upon the incremental wall construction from west to east for midden management, it is probable that Space 393 follows Space 392. Contained within the walls are a series of midden depositions from earliest to latest (5799), (5478), (5474), (5468), (5465), (5464) and (5460). |
