Summary	2007-7-13	pC	an east-west oriented line of large stone blocks in front of the apron f131. It could be a courtain wall, so that was built to retain the accumulations south of the apron. See also wall f224 in v115.

Description/Count

Description	2005-8-3	vVE	Wall parallel to f131, stones and brick debris.
	2005-8-16	mH	The stones used in this feature is marble-like. Some surfaces are very smooth to touch. The northern face of some of the stones is reddish. This red seems to be part of the stone, but it is curious that the upper surfaces do not have this reddish color.

Recovery/Assignment and the Record

Argument

2007-7-13

The western end of this stone alignment is close to but not quite at the edge of k4 and k100. At an approximately correponding place on the other side of k100 we have the "doorjam" belonging to f129. These could perhaps be related. vVE made an observation that the line of stones seems to be continued by bricks or at least bricky material. gB inspected the area and agreed that the material was indeed bricky but he hesitated calling them bricks due to lack of clear faces. He suggested scraping the area in order to see whether they indeed were bricks. After this was done, they disappeared, although the area approximately between r445 and m3956 does contain lumps of melted bricks. Instead of being a brick wall, the stone alingment seems to continue towards east

Time sequencing

Stratum to which element belongs	2011-11-11	cJC	s159 ^J2B
Phase to which stratum belongs	2011-11-11	cJC	h7j ^J2B
Stratigraphic reasons	2005-9-14	mH	Abutted on the south side by bricky debris and on the north side accumulation, which do not suggest very intensive use. In fact, first clear use feature ( f150) went underneath this feature.
	2008-3-5	pC	brickfall covers wall f144 and therfore wall must be younger
Typological reasons	2008-3-5	pC	I doubt that wall f144 was build to retain the brickfall, thus this was coming from the east and it would therefore have a north-south orientation. This wall, as for other small walls f232, f244 and f188 are built to delimitate the area in front of apron and wall. Similar wall was found at the same elevation also under the brickfall and with the same orientation few meters to the east in J6 (J6 f152)
Other reasons	2005-9-14	mH	Raising of f232 in order to contain brickfall/bricky material a way from the front of the apron, no active use.
	2011-5-16	cJC	small curtain wall inside the brickfall layers. This wall, along with f232, argue that the brickfall either took place over a long time or as two distinct events. The walls were built while the area was still filling in with brickfall. mH notes that it might have been a reconstruction of f232 that was keep the brickfall away from the staircase
	2011-11-21	cJC	Small curtain wall construction during the mid-brickfall use. An attempt to reclaim the area that was ultimately unsuccessful.
