Description: | Structure materials: Limestone. Material size: 0.32 x 0.40 x 0.13; 0.35 x 0.36 x 0.10. Material finish: squared. Material construction: n/a. Material bonding: none. Features: Post-hole in each block. | |
Notes: | Structure 6320 consists of a pair of limestone blocks which appear to be a threshold which is between courtyard of Byzantine house and room immediately to the west at northern of courtyard. Revealed during removal of 2008 context 5855. Both blocks gave cuttings on the top which show they were for a threshold. They were for an E-W doorway and it is unknown whether analogous thresholds existed at a higher elevation. Threshold 6320 appears to be aligned with threshold 6347 and wall represented by robbing trench 6349 (cut 6350). At one point this wall would have clearly delineated courtyard from room immediately to the west. | |
