Interpretive Categories: remnants of partition wall 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick; Deposition: homogeneous

Description: brick against northern wall (F.3626) of Sp.490 

Discussion: It was a single brick within the F.3637 attached to the southern face of the wall F.3626. The latter was recorded to be northern limit of the B.108. It seems that the southern part of the brick (u22000) was truncated or alternatively its end indicated the line of the access, linking (Western) Sp.501 and (Eastern) Sp.84 within the mentioned building (see also description of F.3636, U.30196). The unit was not bonded with the bricks of nearby wall (F.3626) but they were fastened together by mortar used to create the structure of the wall. It is obvious that the brick (U.22000) excavated in 2014 must have been the lowest (foundation) part of a higher construction that has not survived. Probably the bricks from upper courses of the structure (F.3637) were bonded with their counterparts within the wall F.3626, creating additional strength of the relatively long construction of F.3626. The latter prevented possible collapse and slumping aside. At this stage of research it is important to point out that the upper part of the F.3626 and F.3637 they had been erected simultaneously as one constructional episode.

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.
