Description:   Structure materials: limestone. Material size: 0.16 x 0.18. Material finish: Roughly hewn. Material construction: Random courses. Material bonding: mud-plaster.
Notes:   Wall 380 is a short (length of 0.83m) wall stub at the SE corner of Room 7, abutting Wall 157. It appears to have been built quite a bit later than Wall 157, as it appears to sit several layers above the lowest visible course of Wall 157, the bottom of which has not yet been reached. Prior to excavation of Wall 380, we cannot be entirely certain of its height, but right now it appears to consist of only a single course of roughly hewn limestone blocks, perhaps sitting on a leveling course of tile and mud plaster, or perhaps simply sitting on a surface containing small cobbles and roof tile fragments. The function of Wall 380 remains unclear, as does its relation, if any, to the W portion of Room 7, the robbing trench associated with Wall 59, a stub of stone that might be a continuation of Wall 59 and a large pit all sit at the interface between Room 7 and the corridor. Wall 380 is on a different alignment than an unexcavated line of stone below it.
