Discussion: This is a southern wall of space 248. The wall consists of three courses of mudbricks. Upper course was made of th following bricks and mortar (as seen from the east): mortar - 15 cm, brick: 0.66x0.44x0.07 m, 0.71x0.41x0.07 m, 0.33x0.41x0.06 m.

A segmence of the second course looked as follow (as seen from the east): mudbrick:067x0.40x0.08 m - mortar: 0.11 m - mudbrick: 0.31x0.40x0.08 m - mortar: 0.12 m- mudbrick: 0.65x0.40x0.06 m - mortar:0.12 m and mudbrick:0.34x0.40x0.04 m.

The third course looked as followed: mudbricks: 0.66x0.38x0.08 m - 0.37x0.36x0.05 m - 0.38x0.40x0.06 m.

The wall is made of dark brown mudbricks of good quality, which makes it considerably different from wall 10982. The wall is placed on levelled infill layer.
