This feature had already been exposed in a previous campaign when this locus, J3 k1, was a locus of J2. It was left standing and the deposits around and/or under it were excavated. This feature was assigned to a500. [Input: Q812VE2.j] |

Feature f501 was removed today. While it was excavated we paid close attention to the structure of this feature. It consisted of both large pebbles and pieces of pottery. Both the pottery and the pebbles were aligned in such a way as to follow the slope of the feature, ie. downwards to the east. However, there was no clear layering of sherds and stones apparent and therefore I do not consider this an installation. The pottery sherds were collected as q505. [Input: Q813VE.j] |

The distribution of the cluster of stones of a500 is somewhat scattered and seems to slightly descend from the North to the South. These two observations seem to argue that they were dislodged from a stone structure that must have been laying to the north. This could only have been the second apron whose remaining top stones are already visible in k2 or, more precisely, in the older German trench B6. However, the stones of a500 do not seem to lay on the same surface (no surface is in fact apparent) and this argues for the interpretation that the stones were deposited over time and not in a single event.
