Short Description:
Mid-orangey-yellow crushed sandstone layer, possible initial levelling layer or foundation surface below 2373
Issued to

Interpretation

    • This crushed orangey sandstone layer likely represents an initial pre-construction foundation/levelling layer upon which the stone foundation supports (2374) of partition wall 2346 are set, connected with a possible pre-monastic structure in the NE area of TR2W. It lies directly below another more yellowish crushed sandstone layer (2373) that likely represents an initial levelling/foundation deposit. This common sequence of crushed yellow sandstone atop crushed orange sandstone layers was observed in all the interventions beneath the walls in the NE part of TR2W
