Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2008-09-02 pC it is the 'memory wall' of wall f129 and part of a rebuilding phase in Mittani time: this rebuilding phase concern the upper part of the monumental access, while the lower part was almost all covered. To the same construction phase there is the second apron J2f132 and in J3 a series of stones layed on top of the revetment wall, which was anymore visible. This series of rebuildings are to ascribe to a mittani constuction phase, when almost all the monumental access and the revetment wall were covered by accumulations. [Input: S907PC.j]
