2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-07-25 jW A stairway ascending to the north and which either abuts or is bonded with revetment wall, f41. The steps are constructed of large, flat rectangular cut stones. As of T725, three steps have been exposed, with more expected to the south. We have not yet traced the stairway to its extremities because we need to understand better its stratigraphic relationship with the surrounding soil features to its immediate west. This is needed to determine when it was built and how long it remained in use. [Input: T725JW.j]
