2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-12 lR Mud brick wall running west to east located adjacent to the north section with the wall continuing north under the section. The wall is constructed of 2 bricks and a half, forming a portion of the large wall that spans from k12, k13, k14, and k15 (see f64 and f41). Another mud brick wall was found at a lower elevation, f106, that either abuts or bonds with wall f63 to the south, forming a thick wall that measures approximately 200 cm in thickness. The depth of this wall is unknown as it is only partially excavated but from k12, we see that this wall continues down at least a meter to the current excavated level. In A18, a stone pavement was found at elevation 9185, perhaps the floor surface associated with this wall. If this is the case, then the wall would measure 2 meters in depth. [Input: S812LR7.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-09 lR More bricks are beginning to surface south of the defined area for f41. This bricks are the same orientation, found lower in elevation. At this moment we are leaving these bricks are part of f41 and defining it as a thick wall. In the next locus, k14, the same situation is visible with more bricks to the south of f63 wall, also at a lower elevation. One possibility is that these walls are later additions to narrow an associated room or alternatively, these could be two walls that abut each other. [Input: S809LR.j]
