Title:		Bench in courtyard, earlier phase
Category:		Structure
Notebook:		1108
Context:		147
Date:		2014/04/23
Stratum:		less than 5% small angular pebbles; ceramics
Description:		The soil color is light brownish brown. It is sandy silt. Structure materials: Limestone. Material size: 0.215x0.315x0.14. Material finish: Roughly hewn. Material construction: Regular course. Material bonding: None.
Notes:		This structure is made up of three roughly rectangular stones in alignment. It is possible that this structure is a bench. While it is aligned with the south wall of Unit 2 Room A and B, it does not bond or interact with it. We determined that these stones belong to an earlier phase of the strcgture because they were well laid and they had a courtyard surface laid against them (Deposit 163). The stones to the west belonging to Structure 146 were not well placed, nor did Deposit 163 lay against them. 25/4/14: We removed the structure today as they sat on the next courtyard surface we were planning on removing (Deposit 173). There was very little soil and material culture within the stones.
