Short Description:
crushed yellow sandstone foundation/levelling layer above (2432)
Issued to

Interpretation

    • This crushed yellowish sandstone layer likely represents a foundation/levelling layer, probably the same as layers (2373) and (2430), upon which the possible pre-monastic structures in the NE area of TR2W are constructed. A small portion of this material was encountered above crushed orangey sandstone layer (2432), in the intervention targeting wall 2345. This reflects the common sequence (revealed in all of the interventions in this part of the trench) of crushed yellow sandstone atop crushed orange sandstone foundation/levelling layers beneath the possible pre-monastic structural features.
