Description (summary) 2000-06-26 jl curved vault at baulk in a22, see w22 [Input: K627JL.j]
2000-06-27 gb vault - there is a marked curving both longitudinally and inward (see v91a-c) with what appears to be vertical bricks, with plaster or mortar faces. This curve matches the curve visible in the plan, hence the very tentative use of the definition as "vault." There are a few parallel layers (2 are visible, possibly as many as 4). There is also a suggestion of a curve on the top of the baulk, which matches the vaulted effect of the curves on the section (and ground floor). [Input: K627JL.j]

Deposition

Roster Date Author Record
Definition of process(es) 2000-07-31 jl Given that we now have evidence that the circle k27 has a deeper elevation than the square k26, it is probable that this apparent vault was created by an inward and downward collapsing of the accumulation in k27. This caused the accumulation leaning against it, in turn, to fall inwards, explaining the vault-like bend inwards. It never needed to support itself; it was resting against complementary accumulation for its whole life. [Input: K731JL.j]
Evidence 2000-06-27 gb okk suggests the term "mounding" which describes well what we see: as if the vault were a brick coating laid over a tumulus-like pile of ash/red soil. If so, f273, f259, and f258 would come first, then f303, then f306, f305, f304. The "vault" does seem to extend lower than f307. [Input: K627JL.j]

4. TYPOLOGY

Manufacturing

Roster Date Author Record
Evidence 2000-06-27 gb As proposed, the "vault" would have no structural stability (hence it could not be a vault). The layers are vertical and curving, as if coating something underneath, which however is not visible (unless it is the congealed f259). [Input: K627JL.j]
