Summary 2007-07-13 pC f132 is the secondary apron, built West of the apron f131 and North of the oval wall f128. It consists of 12 rows of stones running West-Est and rising North/East, like the apron and the staircase. It is a second addition of the Second millenium (see also J3f10, J3f532, J3f556) [Input: S205PC.j]

Definition 2008-03-06 pC stone installation [Input: S306PC.j]
Description (summary) 2004-07-31 ap The secondary apron was built western from the apron f131. The two structures were almost surely contemporary. The eastern side abuts the gap f134 and the bricks f89. The southern part, instead, abuts the gap f133. The connection between the oval wall f128 and the secondary apron f132 is not clear and we are not able to explain the presence of the gap f133. The orientation changes if we compare it with the one of the apron f131. It is a little oriented towards East. [Input: O808AP4.j]

Typological reasons for assignment 2008-03-05 pC Floors dating to Mittani abut the lower steps [Input: S305PC.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2011-05-16 cJC Second apron, constructed after the first apron was no longer in use. [Input: V516CJC.j]
2011-09-30 cJC Based on discussions with jW about the continuation of the second apron in J3 we are now unable to identify why this feature was assigned to the Mittani period. Some of the accumulations that abut the stones are Mittani but these may have been a result of the covering of the area during the Mittani period. If the accumulations against the apron were early Mittani it would argue more strongly in favor of a Mittani assignment as the accumulations in J2 were relatively low during the early Mittani period. If the accumulations, however, are late Mittani it might suggest that they only accumulated after the plaza had been filled and the accumulations covered the whole area. The bakaya found under the apron probably dates to the time of construction of the monumental access, reflecting the surface of the terrace in the third millennium. [Input: V930CJC.j]
