Descriptive

Function
generic fnc. (1st degree of specificity) 2001-8-13 jl This room was probably the entrance to the underground structure a32, a later addition after the collapse/removal of the western wall of a33. [Input File: L813jl.j]
notes on function 2001-8-13 jl We do not understand at this point the reason for the construction of a36. If a32 was in fact a regular well, why was the stairway built so narrow? It is too narrow to have been effectively used to supply water to any significant number of people. Also, what need could there have been of an antechamber to a well? Even if the structure had a ritual purpose, the stairs still seem unnecessarily difficult. [Input File: L813jl.j]
