Square 7K40
Code 008
Designation N-S wall
Field A
Locus type Architecture
Area A
Start season 1984
End season 2008
Start date 1984-07-13

Stratigraphy remarks At a later phase Wall 8 seems to have been used (at least partly) as foundation of Wall 5 with same orientation but is placed more to the W; Poss belongs to the same phase as L 21
Reason Appearance of big horizontal-lying worked stones
End date 2008-07-16
Supervisor B. Adams
Function Forms prob S limit of building extending to N and E; N of Wall 14 is a door opening (L 15) giving access in E-W direction to building; possibly L 21 is the same phase forming W limit of the building; Wall 8 is thus the E wall of the room
