All of the walls in this unit were heavily disturbed by roots and rodent burrowing.

Strata I and Ia are both massive deposits of relatively loose silty sand; typical UPL. Stratum Ia contains fewer large ceramics and is a somewhat more compact sediment, containing relatively more silt and clay components. The boundary between the two is unclear and they are probably slightly differing UPL deposits.

Stratum III (there is no Stratum II) consists of layers of grayish brown compact sandy silt with some charcoal and heavy concentrations of sherds in places as seen in the north profile (Figure xx). Stratum IV is a relatively clean silty sand with only occasional sherds, bone, and charcoal. Strata I-IV were considered by Cagle (2001:54) to be a single deposit representing UPL and lower deposits of heavier (III) and lighter (IV) dumping mixed through rodent action.

Stratum V is a silty sand with common sherds and charcoal and some mottles (presumably brick pieces) at the east end of the north wall. Stratum VI is a massive unit without apparent stratification. Stratum VII is contained within Stratum VI (see west wall, figure xx) and appears to be debris dumps containing ‘chunks’ of some other deposit: stratified brown mud and white sand.

Stratum VIII is a silty sand containing lots of pottery and is similar to Strata III and V. Strata IX and X are both sandy silt and were combined by [Cagle, 2003 #720]:54 into a single unit representing wall collapse. Both contain a few large sherd pieces (Stratum IX in its upper portion only) and the center of the west wall here is greatly disturbed by rodents (see Figure xx West wall).

Everything above Stratum XI (SUs 1-4) is later than the underlying structure that is defined by the Stratum XV wall (below) and not related to it. Below this, the strata split into two sides of the Stratum XV wall, visible in Figure xx, West wall.

Stratum XI is a sandy silt with occasional sherds and charcoal and slight stratification. Below this are Strata XII and XII which are similar, but distinct; the boundary between them (see Figure xx, West all) is heavily disturbed by rodent burrowings. They are both sandy silts but XII contains abundant large sherds while XIIa contains rare large sherds and charcoal. These are interpreted to be dump deposits by both [Buck, 1990 #249]:142 and [Cagle, 2003 #720]:57.

Stratum XIII is similar to XII, a sandy silt with common sherds and some charcoal with no apparent stratification. Stratum XIV contains charcoal flecks and occasional sherds and directly abuts the brick wall of Stratum XV. It reflects moderate intensity of use and may be an occupation surface but is probably dumped material from another location. Stratum XV is an intact brick wall or platform including decomposed and collapsed brick material from higher in the stratigraphic column than the intact bricks. It trends in a NW o SE direction across most of the middle of the square, ending just as it enters the west wall. The bricks themselves are yellow-green and sandy (2.5Y4/2).

Stratum XVI is a mottled sandy silt with grayish and yellow brick pieces, occasional sherds and charcoal flecking; probably wall collapse. Stratum XVII is a silty sand and was described by [Buck, 1990 #249]:142 as a possible occupation surface. While no direct correspondence information is available, this is probably SU-15 and/or SU-16 that [Cagle, 2003 #720]:57 identified as a floor deposit.

Summary of 1219/1095 This unit contains part of one structure represented by the Stratum XV (SU-5) wall. This wall runs roughly NNW from about the middle of the east baulk and continues to within 20 cm of the west wall. At this point, it does not end abruptly but seems to be collapsed. The wall was first defined at 30 cm below datum and extended through the bottom of the excavated deposits.

The upper strata were heavily disturbed by rodent burrowing and roots and this continued throughout the unit. Though not apparent in the profile, the excavator noted that a great deal of mixing had occurred in these upper levels and probably in the entire sequence.

Overall, the deposits in 1219/1095 can be divided into two sequences. The upper sequence is a heavily disturbed set of deposits (Strata I-X) representing some combination of UPL, dumped debris, and wall collapse all heavily mixed by rodent burrows and root systems. Below this are the strata directly associated with the Stratum XV wall. These also represent some dumped material and collapsed wall material of Stratum XV. The possible occupation surface is composed of SUs 15 and 16, and is composed of an upper layer of dark, sticky matrix with abundant charcoal, bone, and ceramics, and a foundation deposit of relatively clean brown sand. This foundation deposit seems to have been laid down to cover a previous floor surface (unexcavated) whose association with the Stratum XV wall is unknown [Cagle, 2003 #720]:57).

Because of the large number of Middle Kingdom bread molds and later ceramics in the upper strata and other Middle Kingdom ceramics in the lower strata (especially in the occupation floor itself), and because of the degree of mixing throughout this unit, it is difficult to assign the deposits in this unit to a particular age [Cagle, 2003 #720]:58). Buck argued that all of the upper strata were unrelated to the lower deposits [Buck, 1990 #249]:282) but the presence of Middle Kingdom ceramics throughout muddies this interpretation. It is possible that the Stratum XV wall is of Old Kingdom age but the extensive post-depositional disturbance mixed the deposits to a degree that makes interpretation tenuous at best.
