Context Number: | 2022 |
Description: | Wall dividing Room 4 into A and B, house 1 / exterior wall of SW House |
Notes: | Upon excavation of robber trench [3708], it was shown that wall 2022 continued, meeting up with wall 1158 and eventually joining wall 1160. The wall was mostly robbed out, although parts of the lower course did remain, including enough to show a partial relationship with 1158. In 2003, 2022 was excavated and the construction cut was found to cut through ceramic tile construction 3284 suggesting that 3284 is earlier than 2022. Wall 2022 is an exterior wall of the SW House in the same building phase as 1158, 1160, 1153 and all of the other walls of the SW House. Strat below (1796) and (3382). Strat above [4124]. Similar to 1153. Plan no: 10.05, 10.71, 11.111 Section no: 469 |
Composition: | 3 courses of a wall constructed from unworked flints measuring on average 0.1m x 0.15 (lower course flints are 3-10cm) and unworked No visible mortar / fine gravel and grit material between the flints Direction of faces: NE-SW Dimensions: 4.30m x 0.53m; Height: 0.17-0.34m Full profile only visible in section 469.
