Description:   Structure materials: Poros limestone, jurassica limestone, tile. Material size: Lave. L 0.30 W 0.20 H 0.25. Material finish: Roughly hewn. Material construction: Random, built to course. Material bonding: None. Features: Bottom course, south, some stones jut out 0.05m..
Notes:   This N-S Wall is framed on the north by Wall 5411 and on the south by 5216. It bonds with neither. Its foundation trench runs over that of Wall 5411. 5411 is thereby earlier than 5284. The foundation trench of this wall does not go under wall 5216. 5284 is earlier than 5216. At this point, it is unclear whether the exposed bottom course, which juts out just slightly, belongs to this wall.

POST-EXCAVATION NOTE, 15-06-09, S.L.: Contexts 6663 and 6649, at least one of which underlies this context, were found to contain two joining coarse incised ware body fragments of the Frankish period, dating to the mid-13th century. These sherds will stratigraphically change the dates of every context that lies above them by as much as two centuries, of which this context is one. Until it is decided whether there is some other reason that this discrepancy might have occurred (e.g., these contexts need to be situated in a different place on the Harris Matrix), the dates will remain as they have been assigned on the basis of pottery/stratigraphy prior to discovering this discrepancy.
