| Notes: | 11.24: The brushing of this area of the wall seemed to indicate the presence of a horizontal structure, possibly associated to structure 720. After being recorded and drawn by Herbst a debate relating the logical sequence of excavation started (see notes 813). It was decided to excavate first 813 and then remove 811, but 813 ended up being the fil of the foundation trench of 811, and it became clear that rather than just a horizontal surface, 811 is a deeper foundation for a threshold somehow imbricated to 720. More work is necessary to offer a clearer picture, bu the proximity of the edge of the pit in rooms 8 and 9, divided by 720, prevents for the moment more detailed work. P.D. 3-6-2015: Discussion with Herbst on the bonding material led to the conclusion that although the bonding material is compacted soil with lime present, the fact that is an anthropic action to bond trhe stones requires the use of the term mortar. The structure seems to be part of Structure 720, so the context numbers should be equated. | |
