| Description POSI | Wall appears in steep terrace riser. Modern irrigation ditch immediately behind it (upslope); then more of the riser. Lots of pottery appearing out of the wall, including 14th-16th century sgraffito, cooking pots (with big strap handles), other utility pieces. Some bone fragments (large animal). A little bit of pottery in the irrigation ditch, but it doesn't reach as low a level as the exposed wall. It may well be that the inner wall of this structure lies deeply buried by the terrace above, and so is well protected. Possible to do geophysics in terrace above, though some of it is obscured by a fairly large pine tree. Friable sediment above the wall; possibly melted mud brick?(See Description of TP002 for adjacent cadastral plots) |
