Description

en Cut block feature on east

Interpretation

en SU 5008 consists of two stacked, square-cut blocks located along the southern trench wall just 30cm west of the SE corner of the room. Both stones are roughly 50 x 45 x 40cm in size, though the bottom stone is broken on its southern face. The stones are dry stacked atop one another, but joined to the south trench wall by a hard gray mortar with small stones wedged in to fill gaps tightly. The feature (5008) is built atop a rocky portion of leveling fill 5006, and the bottom stone was clearly abutted by 5003 and its overlying surface based on visible staining.
