2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-09-01 jW A cut limestone block whose thickness is considerably less than its height or width. Its top leans obliqely against revetment wall, f41, while its base rests on the east edge of the top stone, f265, of the first escarpment, ^esc1. This feature, f293 appears placed to deflect water dripping over the top of the wall away from the base, thus reducing the possibility of erosion. [Input: T901JW1.j]
