General Information

Locus Type Architecture
Supervisor J. Pichette
Designation N-S wall in E half
Reason Stones in a line
Top Separation Very Clear
Bottom Separation Clear
Start Date 5 July, 1989
End Date 4 August, 1989

Interpretation

Function Major wall dividing at least two rooms; the surfaces are L 15 to the W & 17 to the E; though Walls 4 & 9 are bonded, they use smaller stones, making 3 the dominant inner wall; perhaps it was central & load-bearing to a substantial superstructure (being a basement); prob used in the house of a wealthy person
Stratigraphy remarks The bottom of the wall has not been revealed, so it is likely that it is older than the 2 surfaces thus far connected with it
