Phase Description | Phase IV: Nabataean Grand Design: 1st c. BCE to CE 1st c. The remainder of the subterranean canalization is... |
Location | In southeast corner of cistern, to the southwest side of the shaft. |
Description | A narrow, well built stone and plaster wall to support the overhang to the southwest of the cistern shaft where the canalization feeds it. This wall is presumably from the early phases of construction, as it would have been a necessary support element from the initial phases of building, and appears to be very well constructed. Because the south wall, Locus 10, is much shoddier in construction, and extends up to this smaller wall, it is logical to infer that Locus 10 is a later addition. |
Relations | Abutted by: Locus 10, south wall in cistern. |
Definition | Short support wall to the southwest of cistern shaft |
Stage Description | Cutting and furnishing of the cistern and overlying and connecting canalization. |
Stage | Stage 1 |
Underlies | Locus 4, bedrock, where it is cut for the shaft and runs into the cistern. |
Size | 0.99 m in southeast to northwest length-by- 0.63 m in southwest to northeast width -by-1.38 m in depth as far as can be seen at this time (to the level of cistern fill). |
Phase | IV |
Abuts | Locus 4, bedrock. |
