2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-09-02 lC Mud brick wall running north to south, almost parallel and built in the same technique of the wall f92. There were preserved just 5 or 6 thin vertical bricks in the southern part of k13, below its eastern baulk. The bricks were really badly preserved and we removed this feature in order to understand the link between the stone of the pavement f93 in k14 and the stones of the stone installation f141.

Recovery/Assignment

Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-25 lC Today we removed the small portion of vertical bricks f143 interpreted at the beginning as a wall parallel to the wall f92, constructed in the same technique. Below these bricks and the accumulation f140 we found more stones, but there isn't a clear link between the pavement f93 in k14 and the stone installation f141 in k13. It seems rather a quite irregular and non homogeneous structure. Between these new stones there is also a door socket, perhaps in situ, linked to a doorway, or in a secondary use inside the pavement. Then we remove part of f30 still covering the wall f41, looking for more bricks. [Input: S825LC.j]
2008-08-25 lC we removed the small portion of vertical bricks labeled as f143, in order to see if the stones of the pavement f93 of k14 were continuing toward west and if linked with the stone installation f141 in k14. We found more stones but we don't have a clear continuation, rather an irregular presence of stones, among which a door socket, perhaps in situ or reused secondarily for the pavement.
