Description (summary) 2002-06-22 jlw E-W pise wall in NE corner of k24. Component of wall system that includes N-S wall f325. Discovered in section of east baulk after removal of what first appeared to be very hard accumulation, but to jlw's subsequent disappointment turned out to be much of f325. There apparently was a thin strip of accumulation between the east face of f325 and the north face of f348, perhaps forming the corner of a room extending to the north and east. The area needs to be carfully scraped and inspected to confirm this hypothesis. There is also the distinct possibility that the stone and sherd pavement, f336, is associated with this wall system, particularly since jlw has learned that not only is pise a common building material for foundations, but has been used for millennia as material for stand-alone walls, including those exposed to weather.
