JMR 12.8.2008: Space defined by walls F.2428 and F.2413 and by buttresses F.5052 and F.5054. Before excavating the space, it was assumed that F.5052 and F.5054 were walls which would close the space. They turned out to the buttresses, therefore Space 340 is part of a larger room formed by Space 341 and other parts to the east. The eastern limits of this larger rooms are not yet identified. The space for walking between F.5052 and F.5054 is so narrow that Sp.340 is quite closed indeed. Its fill also has a different character than the one of Sp.341 - see discussions of U.16880 and U.16859. All walls and buttresses are plastered (plaster U.17238 and U.17241).

JMR 21.8.2010: Space 340 forms the northwestern corner of Building 98. Ist limit in the southeastern corner is defined arbitrarily by a diagonal line between buttresses F.5052 and F.5053/5054. Space 340 opens towards Sp.450 here. In the end of the 2010 season, the lower limits of F.2408 and F.2413 were already visible (undercut), but not those of F.5052 and F.5053/5054. See wall elevations and stratigraphic discussions on the building sheet and in the diaries.
