Description (summary) 1997-07-07 dns In section, cannot see any definable bricks after removal of accumulation. Possible that there are bricks in places, but no wall or construction apparent. In line with the end of f341, which runs E-W in baulk then turns north in locus in line with f343. Peeled off 5 cms from top to see if we could get better brick definition, which did not happen. GB suggests that the brick color could be a foundation for a brick wall, rather than the brick wall itself. A packed mud brick material, not formed bricks. [Input: H708DNSD.J]
1997-07-08 rK The line of separation that identified f343 ran somewhat from the NW corner of the locus SSEward. It would have been offset at an angle from being aligned with the NS wall f210, which is presumed to continue in this locus, a little below the elevation at which f343 was detected.

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Procedures 1997-07-02 rK We checked into the possibility of whether a wall continuing from our locus emerged past the N baulk into the diagonally opposite locus k2 of area A9. In the E section of that square a layer of bricks could be seen at about the level corresponding to f343. But the results from the comparison of absolute elevations were not exactly thrilling. The brick we saw in A9k2 section was at an elevation of 8653. The top of f343, as we identified it, was at 8603, half a meter lower. [Input: H708RK.J]
Notes on recovery 1997-07-01 dns wall? below f339 along [Input: ZH322lC.j]
1997-07-02 rK In the NW of locus k30, scraping the floor below f339 showed a grey accum. against a line of orange-brown. We think this is accumation against a wall. The orange-brown part was given this feature label. [Input: H708RK.J]
