Discussion

There are 11 floating stones in J7 which currently make up 19% of the features. Floating stones are common in the upper layers of both neighboring J2 and J6. Large stones can also be seen across k200 in area C2 (v22). It is unclear if these stones were placed to “remember” the boundary of the Plaza or if they are simply part of the eroded landscape.
