Description (summary) 2009-09-14 cJC The apron is the set of more widely placed steps to the west of the main staircase (^stair2). It is built of limestone blocks and the steps are spaced so that it is approximately one apron step for every two staircase steps. It is flanked on the western edge by a small wall (^wall3). It is constructed at the same time as the second staircase (^stair2) and the eastern flanking wall (^wall2). [Input: T914CJC.j]

Strata (included within phase) 2009-09-14 cJC s650J2B [Input: T914CJC.j]
Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2009-09-14 cJC The apron was assigned to s650J2B based on the ceramic material that abuts its base. The ceramics that are just below and just above the first step both date to this strata so the apron can safely be assigned to the strata s650J2B as well. [Input: T914CJC.j]
