| Description: | Structure materials: I-bar, concrete, cement. Material size: n/a. Material finish: n/a. Material construction: n/a. Material bonding: Modern cement. | |
| Notes: | We initially titled this context "Retaining wall (Broneer) partially over well in 4(F)," but attempted excavation revealed that it was not a simple, small retaining wall as we thought, but a large and rather unusual construction built atop the well of Shop IV. It includes a metal I-bar substructure supporting a very pebble-y cement platform on which Broneer rested a broken architectural block (greyish limestone, broken on all four sides, but with clamp cuttings preserved on the upper face), and a large concrete block with two faces constructed to look like independent retaining walls. This concrete portion encloses ancient fill material, which seems to have extended into surrounding soil removed under Contexts 350, 357, and 358, although this is unclear as yet. Important note that this structure was overlaid by our Context 350, but otherwise has (rigorously speaking) no stratigraphical relationship to the area because the Broneer backfill around it was removed in a cleaning operation, without a context, after the excavation of Contexts 350, 357, and 358. Note that this construction is completely unlike the well caps in adjacent shops, possibly as a side effect of Broneer's desire to exhibit the Roman phase (of Roman South Stoa "Room B") in this space. | |
