Removal of the lone brick to the E of f430, connected to its brick layers, and the accumulation underneath it for almost a meter revealed the stone layer of a wall at 90 deg. to f430, running Eward, and ending at 70 cm E of the corner. When the wall face was traced Northward, it was found to jog again after 62 cm, leaving a rectangular extension 48 cm NS and jutting out 30 cm from the corner. We still have only 10-20 cm of stone exposed here. So the actual limits and turns could be different. However, the likelihood of a doorway is almost cetain and the rabbeting appears to be on the N. The E section does not reveal a wall continuing @ the level where f465 would be expected to be. However, it reveals several bricks at the level corresponding to the top of the wall to mid-way down the layer of bricks in f430. The top is where we begin f427 and 5 layers of bricks for about 35cm in the Northern half (f465 E of f430 is ca. 130cm wide at the stone level, same as f430). In fact, these bricks in section are unlikely to correspond to the walls f465 or f430 because these are adjoining bricks, perhaps 5 layers deep, extending Northward pdast the N limit of f465. Both groups of bricks in section at this level clearly have accumulation/fill and not stone/brick beneath them. [Input: H726RK2.J] |
