Description (summary) | 2009-07-17 | pC | Stone wall east-west oriented, two stones wide and two rows high, partly exposed. It is perpendicular to wall f129 and continues into the east section (to be further exposed). The wall has the same orientation of ^wall6 and ^wall12. North of ^wall11 an earth glacis slopes down toward south reaching the back of the wall: possibly only the southern face was visible. The upper row is damaged by a pit a8 which removed some stones. Rubble stone masonry. Stones are set in rows embedded into mud mortar. Medium size stones, irregular in form, with nicer side on the top and on the southern face, so that the wall looks more regular. Smaller stones fill gaps in the joints. The southern face is more regular, the back side is rough and irregular [Input: U717PC2.J] |

Notes on function | 2009-07-17 | pC | a screen wall (or courtain wall): it is not free standing while only the southern face is well set, while the northern is very irregular. While the bottom was not reachet we cannot know how it goes deep, but probably not too high. It abuts ^wall6. The function is probably of terracing the mound (note that south and north of the wall there is a notable slope. [Input: U717PC2.J] |
