2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 1992-07-26 RK built of of soft buff brick over f78. Had a lyer of crumbly red brick on top (9-10cm). So we left this as a step until now. Excavation to define the boundaries of f78 showed this was built over it. It consists extensively of such brick, with sherd and other inclusions. As preserved it is almost in line with f78 to the N, but the latter extends past it to the S. [Input: C7-3.J]
1996-07-29 rK The "secondary wall" f44 extended approx. 150 cm above f78. [Input: G806RK.J]

Boundaries 1992-07-28 rK this assemblage of soft buff brick and perhaps clay seems to have been built over the lower stone and red brick wall, f78. Its W boundary coincided with that of f78 and so does the N boundary seem to. On the south side, f 78 appears to have extended past the later f44 by a brick width or two. It would be important when the excavations in k217 resume, to locate the E limits of f44. Already we may have removed parts of it in excavating the E quadrants of this locus. It is also possible that some of the bricky material removed from f23 and below and thought to be associated with burials is in fact f44. On the other hand, the section in the E baulk of the locus do not clearly evidence a continuing brick wall. [Input: C7-3.J]
