Designator | Wall |
Context rating | Primary |
General remarks | Brick wall, runs E-W. At least 3 courses, with 2 to 3 rows (varies). Abuts southern side of wall L17, but from the west section of trench F4, its foundations appear to run deeper that those of L17 (L20). Closing elevations represent lowest exposed part of wall. |

Strat abuts | 12, 17, 20 |
Top depth west | 568.58 |
Bottom depth west | 568.34 |
Bottom depth east | 568.25 |
Dimension length | 4.0 |
Dimension width | 1.0 |
Start date | 2005-06-18 |
End date | 2005-06-22 |
Color | "red" bricks: 7.5 YR 5/4 brown with pebbles; "grey" bricks: 7.5 YR 7/3 pink (dry), when wet looks light brown to grey. |
Texture | clayey loam with pebbles. |
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. |

Material | Mud brick |
Stone brick size | 25cm X 46cm X 10cm tall |
Foundation trench | not found |
Associated surfaces | none found |
Structure type | mudbrick wall |
Courses amount | at least 3, probably as many as 8 (based on west section of trench F4). |
Rows amount | two to three: three where outside row is lengthwise bricks and center is wide brick; two where bricks are end to end across the wall. |
Foundations | not exposed, but from west section of trench F4, appears NOT to have stone foundations. |
Associated walls | abuts wall L17 to the north, wall L22 diagonally to the NW. |
Remarks | built with a core of wide bricks, with an outer row on each side of bricks laid the long way. At west end has two long bricks side by side in just 2 rows. |
