2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-09-01 lC Mud bricks wall orientated NE-SW. It has been uncovered for about 350 cm until the south baulk of k101. It is about 40 cm width, about the size of a brick and it is constructed of vertical bricks (40x40x10 cm), slightly oblique toward north. It is formed by one brick in depth and in some points by two. In its southern portion, next to the baulk seems that some flat bricks are collocated between the vertical ones. We don't know exactly its relationship with other structures. [Input: S901LC.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-14 lR Scraped the wall f115, previously excavated by A19, and were under the assumption that these were horizontal bricks. They in turn are all vertical bricks. More vertical faces are showing up in the eastern baulk. [Input: S816LR.j]
2008-08-16 lR Continued to remove the eastern section of k101, coming down on more vertical bricks to the east of f115. These bricks may be another course of vertical bricks from f115, forming a thicker wall. [Input: S816LR.j]
2008-08-17 lC Today we continued to remove the baulk between our k101 and the old A19k99, looking for the continuation of the vertical mud brick wall f115. After removing f119, considered as a fill inside the structure, we found more vertical bricks just above the bricks already exposed, in the northern part of the baulk. Towards the west we didn't find more bricks and tomorrow we will continue to excavate f119. [Input: S817LC.j]
2008-08-17 lR We continued to remove the east section which we are very close to the level of the walls f115 and f85. Vertical bricks were found in the southern end of the baulk, oriented east to west and look very similar to the bricks that f115 is constructed but at a higher elevation (one course higher). These are only 4 bricks with no more vertical bricks found in section. The section on the eastern face was scraped well today, showing faint lines of vertical faces as well in section. It is unclear if f115 forms the cross wall closing the structure to the east, f116, or if f109 wall closes the structure. f116 is constructed of horizontal bricks which would suggest that the cross wall would also be horizontal bricks. f109 are horizontal, so if this is the case then why is a wall made of vertical bricks immediately east of the outer wall. Perhaps f115 forms a bench. [Input: S818lR.j]
