Unit 21159

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: mortar 

Data Category Information: Location: wall/blocking; Material: re-used brick&mortar; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: The Unit 21159 was recognized as mortar of foundation wall F7341 of B113. The mortar was thin and dark, the layer found under both courses of bricks was similar and was treated as part of the unit, however it was also very similar to U21365 and bottom layers of U21165 (which by itself was arbitrary leftovers of U20485 and/or U19567), and under it two additional bricks in W were found, however they were positioned 15 cm further towards S from the bricks of the wall F7341.
