| Notes: | Wall Context 156 (NB 877 and 845 Wall 16) is the S wall of Room 8, Unit II. It seems to continue beyond this room both to the E, S of Room 9, and W, partially through Room 7. Associated walls are: Wall Context 157 (NB 864 Wall 12, NB 845 Wall 13), the W wall of the room, with which it may be bonded; Wall 154 (NB 845 Wall 14), the N wall of the room; and Wall 155 (NB 877 and 845 Wall 18), the E wall of the room, with which it may be bonded. Wall Context 156 was perhaps discovered in NB 863 B79 (p. 93), though here only the trench for the wall was found. It may be referred to on the plan on p. 43 of NB 863 as the "masonry wall." It is referred to in NB 877 and 845 as Wall 16. The bond with the E wall (Wall Context 155, NB 845 Wall 18) was investigated in NB 845 B176 (p. 46), but the results were inconclusive. A large, squared boulder in the lower levels of this wall appeared to us to bond the walls. At the W, the bond with Wall Context 157 is also somewhat unclear, but a preserved boulder on the upper remaining level of both walls may suggest a bond. Further investigation is warranted. The central portion of this wall is sitting below the excavated surface in a robbing trench. Two additional pits over the wall are shown in NB 864 p. 79. One of these may be B79 in NB 863 (see plan p. 90). Along the N face of the wall, a strip of softer soil was excavated in Context 151. It was too shallow to be a foundation trench, but may be an area of untrodden soil along the wall, perhaps suggesting a bench here (see also Context 175). In the SE corner of the room, where the wall is preserved to a higher level, both a deposit of tiles (Context 149) and the floor excavated in Context 168 below appear to abut the wall. The earliest context apparently abutting the wall is Context 184 (3rd quarter of the 13th c.) | |
