Short Description:
Mid-orangey-yellow crushed sandstone layer, possible initial levelling layer or foundation surface below 2394
Issued to
Ben Swain | 30/09/2022

Interpretation

    • This crushed orangey sandstone layer likely represents an initial pre-construction foundation/levelling layer upon which the disturbed/spilt out rubble core (2394) of wall 2345 sits. It probably represents the same levelling layer (2431) visible in another intervention through partition wall 2346 and is part of a common sequence of foundation/levelling layers for the possible pre-monastic structures in the NE area of TR2W.
