description (summary) | 2006-8-30 | vVE | f583 consists of light red mud bricks that are visible in the section created by the deposits that carry the second apron f556. The mud bricks seem to be lying directly under f532 and on top of the natural accumulation f570. | [Input File: Q830vE1.j] |
daily notes | 2006-8-30 | vVE | More mud bricks became visible in the section under the bottom of the second apron and these were assigned the feature number f583 today. | [Input File: Q830vE1.j] |
argument | 2006-8-30 | vVE | There are two options for the function of these mud bricks, I think: Either the mud bricks formed a pavement that adorned/preserved the top of the temple terrace or they were laid out as part of the construction of the secondary apron. It is very hard to argue in favor of one of these options over the other, but I would like to propose that the mud bricks were a preparation for the second apron. First of all because they seem to be directly on top of each other and secondly because the soft ashy deposits of f570 might not have been able to support the stones of the second apron f556, because they would have shifted or eroded away from underneath the structure during the winter rains. | [Input File: Q830vE1.j] |
