Interpretation

Function:

Perhaps the N wall of an entry way approx 80 cm wide parallel to Wall 18; may continue through the balk to join Wall 41; if so, it may form the S wall of a structure in 5K86 (loci 80, 45, 19)

Stratigraphy remarks:

Seems to have been two phases in the wall; the last contemp with Wall 3, etc., & an earlier phase perhaps contemp with Walls 16, 17, & 18
