Interpretive Categories: brick,wall collapse 

 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

 

Dimensions: length ne-sw, width nw-se 

 

Discussion: brick elements of collapsed wall ( collase). Connection of plaster at n. end of collapse indicates along with position and alignment of coursing that this collapse was clearly associated with eastern wall of B.80 adding a further seven or eigh courses to this wall.

Good preservation of plaster on underside (like that on the walls) as well as clear retention of the coursing pattern throughout. Most of its length suggest that this was a fast event. IE that the wall was pushed over, rather than being left to erode/collapse naturally - possibly in preparation for the levelling/terracing beginning with phase 344.

Central portion of the collapse; the upper surface was badly scorched. Possibly associated with B79 burning event or burning of posts locally in B.80. Almost certainly part of w-face of B.79 west wall collased with B.80 wall.

NB/ this was recorded as part of F.5014. The link has been removed because whilst it represents collapse of that wall F.5014 , in its current state it is a 'fill' context. SF 19/02/10

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.
