TEST
TRENCH 21
TT21 was an eastern extension of the portion of TT15 revealing the
"Southern Building". It measured 6 x 3 m (Fig. 7)
Aims
1. To determine the extent of recent digging adjacent to TT15.
2. To test a number of questions posed by both the geophysical data
from Area B, and by the excavations in TT15 in 1996.
RESULTS
1. Extensive digging was evident, both recent (indicated by pieces of
newspaper mixed with mudbrick collapse) and, perhaps, ancient.
2. The nature of the architecture and the use of the structure remain
largely undetermined, but it is possible to propose, tentatively, a function
in the storage of vehicles and horse gear.
3. The walls are visible on the geophysical map.
4. The structure belonged to a single building phase, although there were
alterations within the enclosed space.
5. Mud-brick and timber framed walls stood on substantial stone footings.
