Description

en Basalt foundation

Interpretation

en Record created after backfill.
Foundation wall comprised of mortared basalt stones running beneath the northern wall of the trench. The foundation appears to have been constructed separately, as it has very different materials (mostly basalt), bonding (hard gray mortar), and orientation (a few degrees more ENE) than the overlying final phase wall at the north of the trench. 5063 is built within construction trench cut 5047, but also has a different orientation than the trench cut (cut is even further shifted to the north).

This foundation wall was cut into floor 5042, with the wall’s bottom cut into subfloor fill 5051.
