2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-18 jW A line of unfounded irregularly shaped stone blocks extending to the southwest from the southwestern corner of k22. The purpose is unknown. They may serve, in conjunction with f161, as a buttress to the sharp turn of the wall corner. [Input: S818JW.j]
2009-07-22 jW Two parallel rows of melon-sized stones running north to south which abut a buttress-like clump of stones, f161, which extend southeast from the corner of revetment wall extension, f3. They are high founded and may have served to divert running water away from f3 and f161. There is evidence (sand-filled channels cut into harder accumulations near the revetment wall) that this was a problem of long standing. [Input: T722JW.j]
