small test trench, approximately 30 cm sq, dug at the NW corner of baked brick platform, f163, to determine with which floor surface the platform was associated (we had presumed that since the platform and floor bricks were similar, they were built at the same time). However, we found that the bottom course of brick was laid at the level of the pebble floor, f80, and conclude that the platform must be associated with it rather than the brick floor.

A sounding was taken late in MZ12(1999-J) to determine whether the baked brick platform, f163, was associated with the pebble floor, f80 or the brick floor, f84. The sounding was made at the northeast corner of the baked brick platform f163 and was terminated when we encountered baked bricks similar to those in floor f84 in k5, about 2 meters away. We were also interested in the relative relationship between the elevations of the two surfaces, which we assume are the same paving. The bricks at the bottom of f194 are at an elevation of 8268, while the bricks at k5 are at an elevation of 8304. This is logical since there is an obvious slope downward in the k5 bricks toward the ones at the bottom of f194. Sketch 15 shows this relationship. [Input: L619JLW.j] |
