Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2005-08-29 jW A large block of limestone in the NW corner of k101 that forms part of the top of the monumental wall, f11, and that overhangs the typological column k104. Another large stone, f66, sits on top. The stone appears to be founded on soil, and may be a late addition or repair to f11, or a stone that tumbled down the terrace and landed on the wall.

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 above, f66, sit. [Input: P901JW.j]
