Unit 17642
Category: Layer dug in 2008
Area: TP
Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick; Deposition: heterogeneous
Dimensions: 0.36 x 2.44 x 0.50
Discussion: This is a wall placed directly under two rows of bricks recorded as unit 13579 that comprised W - wall of space 323 in building 72. The north - eastern border of the wall is defined arbitrarly as it continues to the east as contemporary unit 17638. its southern edge seems to be truncated by a latter action. It may be an animal disturbance or more likely (but still not for sure) building of the wall 15889 dating probably to the later period. Yhe unit is oriented on N - S axis and it is composed of five courses bricks. It must be stressed that they differ as regards a number of characteristic features such as colour, size and material they are made of. It may suggest that some of the 'bricks' might have been originally part of different constructions like other walls, platforms, etc. The lowest course in the wall have traces of floor 15809 (space 325, building 74) abuting their eastern face. This means they comprised elements of of the same dwelling structure. Size of the bricks: 0.42x 0.70 x 0.088 / 0.40 x 0.71 x 0.09 / 0.42 x 0.71 x 0 089 / 0.40 x 0.71 x 0.09 / 0.40 x 0.72 x 0.086
