Unit 15240

Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: butress 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: post; Material: pise-like; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 0.96 x 0.14 x 0.37 

Discussion: This is a butress constructed on the floor 15809 in space 325 in B 74. It was built against its S wall. The butress along with S wall of s.325 was badly truncated but after the space was abandoned. Hence exact size and shape of the butress can't be recognized. General dimensions of the butress are:
0,96 x 0,23 x 0,37 Its western part is particularly badly damaged to such a degree that is impossible to distinguish dimensions of bricks and mortar as seen from the eastern, preserved dimensions are as follows:
from the top:
1 brick: 0,45 x 0,23 x 0,10
2 mortar: 0,45 x 0,24 x 0,04
3 brick: 0,44 x 0,22 x 0,08
4 mortar: 0,43 x 0,22 x 0,002
5 brick: 0,42 x 0,18 x 0,08
6 mortar: 0,43 x 0,13 x 0,05
7 brick: 0,41 x 0,15 x 0,08
8 mortar: 0,41 x 0,13 x 0,03
