Isolated Stones

There were 32 isolated stones distributed randomly all over the loci off this unit. There are two types of isolated floating stones in this unit. The ones that are truly isolated, in the form of one large floating stone with no other floating stones or stone structures and installations close to it. These stones could be there as a result of natural causes such as a heavy rain that flooded the area and rolled the stone to its current place, or a collapse of a near by structure. An example of this is f62. The other type are the isolated stones that might in fact constitute a part of a close by stone structure, or constitute some sort of a stone installation with other isolated stones near it. f11, f12, f16, f19, f20 and f104 could be related to wall f10 that got damaged for some reason. on the other hand, f139, f140, f141, f144, f145, f147, and f148, constitute parts of a stone installation, as their allignement suggest intentional placement, but it is how ever an assumption. It is possible that these stones are related to the bin structure a2, or could have been distrube by the placement of the bin.
