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
