Description (summary) 2002-09-25 fAB Red palace packing material on top of the baked bricks f194 and below the stones a12 found in the entire stone courtyard. This packing material is seen inside the cut f189, in the pit f250, and in the smaller pit f216. We assume that this packing material continues throughout the entire courtyard and used as a leveling material in between baked bricks and stone pavement. This material is extremely hard, blocky structure, solid clay. It is dark red almost purple when damp and retains a very distinct appearance when scraped. It does not scrape easily but chunks off in small to medium sized blocks. Does not dissolve when wet. [Input: M926LR.j]
