2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-09-04 jW A row of dressed limestone blocks with flat tops laid horizontally in the eastern part of locus k2. They are seen in a narrow trench running east to west that was dug to assist in tracing escarpment f184 from J1 into J5. We cannot yet see the bottom of the revetment wall, f189, in this area, but the stones of f188 are considerably lower and better cut than the part we can see. Although pottery above this feature has not been analyzed, these stones were probably cut and placed during the Late Chalcolithic period. [Input: S904JW.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Evolution 2009-07-30 sE Last year this line of big, flat stones have been defined as wall, but after the excavations of this year the definition has changed because we can say that they are part of the stone escarpment, ^esc1. [Input: T830SE2.j]
