| Description (summary) | 2010-09-13 | jW | This is a horizontal surface of red bricks laid vertically in a brown mortar matrix. As we have only exposed a small portion of its top in the SW corner of the locus, it is impossible to determine whether it is a pavement, a fallen wall, or a wall-top. [Input: U914JW.j] |
| 2010-10-07 | jW | At the close of the excavation season this feature appears to be the southwest corner of a substantial wall constructed of red mudbricks. There is a double niche at the corner which may be a buttress. The wall foundation appears to be a mudbrick platform, f363. The wall extends into both the east and north baulks. It has been damaged by burrowing animals in several locations. The top of the wall has been cut down, sloping from north to south to provide a surface for a glacis, f368, probably associated with construction of the BA temple mound. The courses of bricks of the wall are not horizontal. They slope down from north to south, possibly as a result of settling. [Input: V206JW.j] |

| Stratigraphic reasons of assignment | 2012-10-07 | jW | This mudbrick wall is intact and sealed by two glacis, f109 and f368, above. Although it has not been excavated, several floors and accumulations which abut it have been securely dated to the LC3 period. Therefore we have assigned a stratum which is earlier, but still within this period. [Input: WX07JW.j] |
