2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-09-03 lC Mud brick wall running east to west closing a6 to the south. This wall seems to be linked with the clay layer f150, surrounding the pavement f132, and abutting the wall itself. This wall is very low preserved, with three courses of horizontal bricks visible. The bricks are gray in color and are not easily recognized. It is preserved for about 180 cm east to west, and 15-30 cm in width. Below the lower course of gray bricks there is a layer of reddish fine clay that could be part of bricks but much softer. So it is not clear if it is part of the wall of something else, like a sort of preparation level for what above. [Input: S903LC.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-18 lR Wall f127 appears to abut f40 on the southern end, these are a series of horizontal bricks that go down several courses then ends approximately 15 cm then f126 wall emerges underneath. At first we assumed that wall f84 continued to run west, so that f127 and f84 were the same wall. This however is not the case. While removing f120, stones emerged, west of f85 wall. These stones continue to go down; at the moment are 3 stones deep but stop to the west. A thick vertical line is also visible where the stones end which would then make f84 a discrete wall with stone foundations at its western edge and another wall, f127 built in the west that abuts f84.

2008-08-19 lR This morning the north section of k101 was drawn. This section is not the true north section of k101, it is actually our cut into k14 but shows nicely the wall f127 which we plan to remove today. After the section was drawn we then photographed the section, including overhead, oblique, and direct north views. The wall was removed in section, beginning in the eastern area working west, leaving a small section to see the horizontal bricks from two sides. We then proceeded to continue removing the bricks to west, then cleaned out the section and photographed it again. What was in view was bricky material sitting on a nice row of horizontal bricks then several centimeters below, a layer of reddish fine clay appearing similar in shape and size to bricks but much softer than brick.
