Unit 23112

Category: Cut    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: cut of niche 

Data Category Information: Description: niche

Discussion: This is the presumed cut for a niche F.8372 cut into the E face of wall F.7708. The niche was recognized by a thin, horizontal plaster surface in a shallow half-moon shape (23113) extending back into the wall where a mortar course should have been; no upward extension of the niche was recognized. We interpreted this as an early niche, perhaps scoured of most plaster and then blocked with brick, which was then rendered indistinguishable from surrounding brick by burning.
