The excavation of the typolgical column moved from k102, the north baulk of k12, to k104, located just north of the north face of the monumental wall, f11. The first extant layer of bakhia that we encountered, f50, covered all of k12. (We postulate that there was a higher layer atop fills f34, f38, and f42 that had all but eroded away after abandonment.) As f50 was being removed from the 2m x 2m locus of k104, underneath we encountered a layer of compacted fill, f57, atop another thin layer of bakiah, f58. This view shows that f58 extended throughout the locus, sloping down from north to south following the shape of the temple BA mound. [Input: P904GM5.j] |
