Stratigraphy remarks All loci seem to be later than Wall 11; it seems to have been forgotten or ignored after its disuse by destruction; walls & surfaces were built on 11 without taking advantage of it as a foundation or divider; Wall 19 abuts it on E; L 19 is oven- & sun-baked mudbrick destruction; contemporary with Walls 9 & 37, making it related to the rooms to E; contemporory with or later than cobble Surf 36 which it overlays on its E face; the founding level was just below the floor surface for the broadroom & was laid at the same level as Wall 9 at the east end
Reason Stones in a line
End date 1994-07-21
Supervisor D. Holloway
