Interpretation

Function:

No conclusive evidence was found demonstrating that a foundation trench for wall 24 was cut into locus 32. Yet it is still maintained that wall 24 is Early Iron 2.

Stratigraphy remarks:

The material, both earth and pottery found in FT 33 bore the same characteristics as locus 32.

Remarks

Remarks:

A probe along W face of Wall 24; did not confirm the idea of a FT; instead it showed occasional bricky material of L 32 sealing against Wall 24; the loose soil apparently was just loose debris filling open cavities left by mudbricks falling against or in the area of Wall 24; revealed the founding courses of Wall 24
