Cleaning the top layer of the accumulation in k30 showed the outlines of a cut, bounded on the E & W by orderly placement of bricks and also having brick sides to the N & S. Most likely a burial. [Input: H726RK2.J] |

A large reddish jar has been exposed in this feature which we assume is a tomb. This was in the SE corner of the cut. Another has been exposed toward the NW limit of the cut--a slightly smaller jar. [Input: H726RK2.J] |

What we originally called part of a wall now looks more like it could be a burial structure. Abutting the structure to teh West is a loose fill. The accum. to the E of f344, was also a loose brown acc. In the E section of k22, above the N wall in k22, brick lines are clearly visible which we had assumed to be layers of brick formerly considered to be uncertain in their relationship to the wall below. We now see a vertical line of loose acc. abutting a column of at least 6 bricks which are aligned, indicating a cut into the wall. This feature we are tentatively calling a burial structure although no bones have yet been excavated from it. Could the large intact pot, i224, found in our N baulk have been a part of the burial assemblage--if this is a burial? [Input: H726RK2.J] |
