Summary 2007-07-11 cJC Two course wide mudbrick wall which runs from the SE to the NW. It forms the eastern wall of structure a1 and is bonded with f142 (the southern wall of structure a1) as well as f7 (the northern wall of a1). The relationship with wall f5 is unclear but it appears the two are not bonded (see f5 description). f4 rests on the stone foundation, f172, only on the NE side. The wall is several courses of mudbrick in height. [Input: R711CJC.j]

Description (summary) 2001-07-07 lR Mudbrick wall running north to east measuring 90 cm in width (2 bricks and a half). The mudbricks are 40 x 40, 10 cm in thickness. Wall is not bonded with the adjacent walls and is only a few courses deep. [Input: L707LR.j]
2001-07-10 sV Eastern mud brick wall of structure a1 running SE to NW. The wall measures 90 cm in width and 5.30 m in length, consisting of two visible coarses of 40x40x10cm bricks. The wall appears to bond with the southern wall f142 and the northern wall f7, but does not show a clear bond with the "buttress" wall f5. There is no visible difference between the color of the bricks and the mortar, making it difficult to define the depth of the wall. It did appear that an accumulation lay below the two courses of bricks, but resulted in more bricks below. While removing the bricks of this wall, it was observed that two of the bricks appeared that they had a carving of a fish. This fish carving most likely was created naturally, and was found next to f5 and removed. This wall rests on the stone foundation f172 only in the NE side. [Input: L729_SV.j]
