| Designator | Wall |
| General remarks | Wall that appears to be one brick wide, with alternating bricks of about 10 cm long and 26 cm wide. There are some bricks that appear to be a lighter color, almost white and some that appear to be a darker gray. The wall actually ended up being only one course. One theory which I espouse is that this wall may have acted as a curb or enclosure of L1033, the very large pavement, as it was built above the mudbricks, but right at the end of the bricks. |

| Has note | Contexts excavated in trenches were recorded using the "locus system." A locus is any discrete three-dimensional entity excavated in a trench. The key to the locus system is the recognition that a locus is any one thing. Differences in soil composition or texture are therefore as important as, for example, the difference between a pit and a wall. If two entities were distinct, they were considered separate loci and were therefore assigned separate locus numbers. It should also be noted that every context excavated in a trench was given a locus number and thus the trench itself is made up completely of excavated loci. |
