Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2008-03-05 pC f200 covers f270 [Input: S305PC.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2005-09-14 mH Pedestal under fallen stones, which are same in elevation as f224 stones but seem to have originally belonged to f127. [Input: S215PC.j]
2011-11-21 cJC This feature is a volumetric feature, it was left in place to suport the stones that had collapsed from f127 before they were removed. See v117. Because it was volumetrically defined it likely includes multiple deposits. The upper sloping layers however, come against the small curtain wall suggested they accumulated after the wall was constructed. For this reason I have assigned these features to the same phase as the brickfall when the area was filling up, even though this feature itself is not composed of brickfall material.
