This is a measured drawing of the stones in the east wall of a32. This traced drawing was originally one large pencil drawing which, because of its size, was scanned in two separate pieces. These two pieces are W39, the top half, and w40, the bottom half. The double-dashed line in the bottom half and right side of the drawing marks the floor level and the south baulk in the structure at the very beginning of the excavation season; the winter rain had filled our trench from the previous season with mud. The much thicker single-dashed line to the right of the double-dashed line marks the outline of the south baulk after we had cut it back half of a meter to reveal a new face. The solid line around the drawing marks the outline of the stones that were cut by the plane of the drawing and, in the bottom, the limits of excavation this season, specifically the trench in the north half of k27. To the right of the solid line marking the southern baulk of the trench is a thin dotted line: this line marks the south-eastern corner of the k27 trench, which was technically invisible in the drawing because the western end of the baulk (through which the plane of the drawing cut) hid it from view (the baulk was not perfectly aligned with the axis of the building). The stones and the baulk line are dotted to show that they were not visible. Although jmf originally drew the wall at the beginning of the season, before all of these changes had occured, he later returned to update the drawing and measure in the newly revealed stones.
