The shape of the excavation areas was determined both by the preexisting topographic conditions and the goals of the season. The trench, k200 bordered the loci to the west and restricted the eastern side. The overall roughly trapezoidal shape of J7 was to maximize the view of the staircase at the northern edge without having to excavate a huge area in the south as well, therefore the shape gradually widens from the south to the north as it emerges out towards the staircase and J2. 2 gk1,2,3,4,5 gf4,5,6,25,38,39,40,37,29,35,36 Plot of floating stones across J7. These stones were all roughly aligned along the eastern portions of J7 and may be related to similar floating stones found in J2. 3 gk1,2,3,4,5 Plot of excavated extent brickfall against all J7 loci. The brickfall extends across the trench and into both J6 and J2. This plot is intended to show the huge reach of the brickfall and what portion of the brickfall is within the confines of J7.
