Abstract
This short article presents a case of intentional use of a layer consisting of a large number of pottery sherds along with the more usual clean yellow sand in a shallow foundation trench under a fragmentary New Kingdom mudbrick wall encountered in Tell el-Retaba in the Wadi Tumilat. Various possible explanations for the use of these sherds as a part of an architectural feature are explored with the aim of drawing attention to a hitherto under-studied cultural practice in Egyptian New Kingdom settlement architecture.
