2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-09-04 jW The glacis associated with oldest version of the revetment wall, f189. It can only be seen in section because it was excavated in a previous season during the search for the western extension of the revetment wall system which originates in unit J2 to the east and continues west through units J3 and J1 and now into J5. It is made of the red baqaya virgin soil of this region, which charateristically contains small nodules of limestone. From the section it cannot be determined whether it abutted or bonded with the revetment wall. [Input: S904JW.j]
