Discussion: Brick in wall F.2426. Cut by grave F.2420.

2012: This unit represents the mudbrick layers of the southern wall of B.107 (F.2426). The bricks are light gray in color with tiny bits of charcoal and lime inclusions along with small fragments of pottery, bone, stone, obsidian, and shell. They are firm and compact but do not seem to be of a uniform size and the size of the bricks is sometimes adapted to spatial needs.

2013: Unit 16846 stands for the mudbricks of feature 2425. The finds and dry sieve soil of the mortar lines are listed under the sample unit. For detailed information about the unit and mudbricks see also 16842.
