Description (summary) 2009-09-13 lC Big cut dating to ED III, made in order to rebuilt the second escarpment. This cut removed part of the early escarpment, deeply damaged from the erosion. Then it was filled by dumping bricky material. The cut is clear and sharp to the south and to the north, running east to west. Its western edge is less clear and sharp, and in part it can be confused with the water erosion that also removed part of the first escarpment. Moreover to the west the cut is less deep probably because the early escarpment was better preserved thanks to the presence of the wall f259 and the stone escarpment. The eastern edge of the cut is still missing because it goes in the eastern section of J1. [Input: T913LC.j]
