Description

en SU 9036 represents a cut into the bedrock in Area B that forms a continuation of the construction trench for wall 9082. Previously interpreted to be the same as, 9018 are the same cut, our excavations revealed that 9036 was actually a pre-existing cut for an an earlier wall (9082) that went unrecognized until there were later excavations in Area C. 9036 is cut directly into bedrock 9034, leaving a construction trench only a few centimeters wide between the cut and the ashlar blocks of WS_87. The current width of the cut likely reflects a larger version than the original activity, as it seems the later additionm of wall 9047 and extension of the cut with 9018 saw some expansion of the initial constrution trench
