Description (summary) 2010-07-29 pC Transition EDII-EDIII: to this phase there is not enough pottery analyzed coming from the following features: the assignment to this period is only given by the fact that is before the major construction phase of the temple terrace (s650J6A). A series of hard and compact surfaces located under the eastern staircase wall: they have all a marked slope toward south-east. While they are located under the staircase wall and therefore also under the staircase, they could be the temple mound surface. While they are intentionally laied (the characteristics are not of natural accumulations), they are labeled glacis: they were laied possibly every year, thus renewing the mound surface. To this surfaces could be associated other glacis in J2 under the staircase (dated to EDII) and in J3 behind the revetment wall. [Input: U729PC.J]
