2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-08 jW A roughly made floor surface of sherds, pebbles and bones which abuts stone installation, f225, and was covered by accumulation, f226. It is similar to several such floors at the same elevation in J1, immediately to the east. It slopes down to the south and its function was probably to divert water flowing along the revetment wall away from its base and escarpment. [Input: T808JW.j]
