brickfall. This appears to be the same brickfall from above, f219, 215, 205, and 189. It covers the S excavation area in k23. Within it, in the SE quadrant, there was a pocket of ashy soil that may have come from a tannur or other fire source. However, right next to that were several upright or oblique sherds, suggesting still random accumulation. Although this is clearly a new feature, I haven't quite figured out these sherds.

This ^bf came as a complete surprise to us, especially since we had not observed it in the baulk and had thought that the whole ^a was gullywash. Partly, this is because it was also missed last season: our scraping today suggests that it only extends 10 or 20cm to the north of the current excavation before dropping sharply off, so it is easy to see how it could have been missed, hidden at the edge of the square. Thankfully, lr noticed it this year in between pickruns, and we were able to document it. We will photograph it in context before continuing to excavate in that section. [Input: K705JL.j] |
