EW wall at the northern edge of k93. This wall is composed of a 3 boulder-sized stones which are laid to the east of the outermost palace wall in this area. Although we looked carefully, there was no evidence of mud-brick to suggest that this was a stone foundation. There is a floor of large flat sherds, f134 laid up against the northern side of this wall. These stones are laid much higher than the foundations of the palace walls, and to there is a floor f146 which comes up to the top at the southern face. At first it was thought that this might also be a palace wall, but there are a number of facts that weigh against this: first, the fact that this wall is laid higher than palace walls, and second that the type of construction is much poorer than is found in construction of the palace. Thus it appears that this wall would be dated to phase 3. [Input: L915okk1.j] |
