2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-07-30 jW Two rows of large, roughly cut limestone blocks stones which abut stone installation, f188, in the east half of k106. The rows descend to the south from stone installation, f188. While the stones of f188 are dressed on the top and lie horizontally, the stones of f225 are not dressed and lie at an angle which form a slope. gB suggested that the Akkadian work KESU best describes what function these stones and f188 performed.
