Unit 11715

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: brick 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick

Dimensions: 2,40 x 0,30 x 0,30 

Discussion: It is a fragment of wall in central part of Building 61 along N-S alignment. Analysis of stratigraphic relations with the Building floor showed that it was a later addition to the Building and hence should be linked with one of the significant episode of the reconstruction. It appears that this wall is contemporary with yet another wall in eastern part of this Building (unit 11792). Both walls are associated with younger phase of the Buildings occupation. The wall was placed on the flor recorded as unit 12281 and dated back to the phase I.
It consisted of two layers of mudbricks. As looked from N to S they have the following dimensions:
the top course: 0.50/ 0.30/ 0.09; 0.47/ 0.31/ 0.08; 0.23/ 0.30/ 0/08; 0.68/ 0.32/ 0.10; 0.40/ 0.33/ 0.05
the bottom course: 0.30/ 0.12/ 0.10; 0.65/ 0.32/ 0.10; 0.60/ 0.35/ 0.10; 0.70/ 0.30/ 0.10; 0.24/ 0.34/ 0.10.

The brownish mortar between the bricks was 0.03 - 0.05 m high. The bricks were easy to distinguish and cut off. They were not placed regularly one on top of the other.

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
