Text description of view 2008-08-14 jW This major view shows the important features associated with the western side of the monumental temple complex. Most would have been visible and in use in the late Mittani phase. The principal feature is the monumental staircase, f21, and the line of large limestone boulders which define its northern limits. Other associated stone installations that channel attention to the BA temple are shown in the foreground. In the middle is a flat, open area with a natural pavement, f70. In the background are a series of stone installations that run N-S. Their function may be to define the western edge of the sacral area. [Input: S823JW.j]
