| Description: | Structure materials: limestone, tile. Material size: 0.56 m x .25m x .65 (limestone); .12m x .08m (tile). Material finish: squared (70%), roughly hewn (30%). Material construction: random coursed. Material bonding: mud plaster. | |
| Notes: | "C" shaped masonry (limestone) structure currently interpreted as the foundation for a 2nd story staircase. "C" opens to the East. The east side of the feature has been impacted both by modern trench (trench #2) and possible prehistoric robbing modification. As visible feature is 7 large limestone blocks, tooled, squared, and faced with two particularly large blocks at NW and SW corners. The N and S walls are less well preserved than the west and part of the south wall is made up of poorly worked or unmmodified/irregular sandstone slabs. (3) There is one limestone slab in the west wall that is vertical. Portions of tile have also been used. Tile fragments, chinking stone and mud mortar are in evidence between several of the large limestone blocks. This feature sits a top a well-prepared plastered surface atop the courtyard (58.00m) context 349. At least one additional surface lips against the basal stones of the structure. The structure/feature is one course tall. There appears to be a small pocket of limestone mortar in SE wall. The feature does not articulate with, but seems squared and in proper alignment with the N/S wall visible at the base of trench 2 that was robbed. | |
