Remarks

Remarks:

Not a wall, but destruction; bricks vary in composition, quantity, & size; larger: 36 x 24 x 15 cm; both dry-laid & mortar construction present; most bricks unfaced, but those abutting Wall 10 show signs of plaster; some bricks show limestone accretion as the result of percolation (consultation w/ Frank Koucky, Geologist)
