Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2008-09-02 pC it is a memory of ^wall6: ^wall6 was built as a boundary between the west, where is the monumental staircase and the East, were instead there were buildings (^wall7). As the accumulations grow up and ^wall6 was anymore visible, were laid stones to remember the boundary. The same function has ^wall5, which probably comes slightly after ^wall3, while it covers it [Input: S907PC.j]
