This photograph is an overhead taken from a high ladder in the strong sunlight of late morning. It was taken after a rain washed the stones, yielding a high contrast image. It looks east along most of the portion of the revetment wall, f189, which runs west to east. It includes excavation units J5, J1, J3, J2 and J6. It also shows the lines of memory stones atop the wall, placed after the main wall was covered by accumulation in the late Mittani period. Not only is f189 continuous, but one can see that the stone and baqaya escarpments continue from J5 into the western part of J2. [Input: U812JW.j] |
