Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2005-09-14 mH Sits on f130, oblique stone at the southern end mirrors that of f127, southern extent parallel to that of f127. [Input: S215PC.j]
2008-03-05 pC During season 2007 the staircase f130 was cleaned from soil resting on top of it, were wall f129 should sit on. We could reconsider the contact association of f129 with f130: f129 abuts staircase f130, and therfore is not later on time and is contemporary to the staircase [Input: S305PC.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2005-09-14 mH Similarities with f127 could make this contemporary with f127, but it is also possible that this feature dates to early 2nd millennium when the staircase underwent structural changes. [Input: S215PC.j]
