Removed (feature), discarded/missing (item) 2005-09-01 gM P903 [Input: P904GM.j]
2005-09-01 jW We removed this overhanging stone to safely excavate k104 along the north face of the monumental wall, f11. We attempted to fashion a rope restraint, but in doing so loosened the stone from the dirt matrix in which it and the stone directly below, f67, sit. [Input: P901JW.j]
