Description (summary) 2001-07-08 lR possible hearth on top of several bricks forming a square. [Input: L708LR.j]
2001-08-01 lR A simple hearth located on the southern end of the mud wall f80. This installation includes the three brick-like installations at the top, which form a smooth groove in the center. The bricks sit on a brick pillar f246,which goes all the way down 13 bricks in height (128cm) and is 60cm in width. A color sample was taken from the three brick installation, which is very hard burnt two toned clay, a reddish color similar to the brick pillar underneath, and a dark gray-brown. [Input: L801LR.j]
2001-08-01 lR A mud brick installation constructed of similar bricks as f96 and f52 walls. The pize wall f80 bonds with this installation on the northern side of f89, forming an attachment that is wider than the pize wall. The "pillar"- like installation is constructed of 13 brick courses in height (128cm) and is 60cm in width, containing a small mud brick construction at the top with two bricks laying flat with a smooth groove running in the center east-west. Another brick lies flat on top of the other bricks. The material resembles a tannur, fired with straw inclusions and for this reason we have defined the top portion as a small hearth with a thicker base. Due to the similarity with the wall f52 and the crude construction of the pize wall f80, we are led to believe that this "pillar"-like installation is the remains of an earlier wall (only a portion of it), which was later re-used as the pize wall f80. This installation is part of a8. [Input: L816LR.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Problems in recording 2007-07-30 pC During the excavation this feature was understood as a hearth; at times f89 refers to the whole column, thereby including f75 (also f246). [Input: R712CJC.j]
Evolution 2001-08-01 lR Previously this feature had been assigned for the entire pillar and hearth, but after realizing that the pillar continues to go down the two were given seperate feature numbers. [Input: L801LR.j]
