Definition 2009-09-14 cJC wall [Input: T914CJC.j]
Description (summary) 2009-09-14 cJC So-called 'curtain' walls in front of the apron built during the brickfall. They were built to screen off certain areas, particularly after the area of the plaza began to fill in. The two features are each separate lines of stones that are placed one on top of each other with a slight layer of fill between them. The wall was built during the time of the brickfall and presumably the first level was covered and so the second layer was added. [Input: T914CJC.j]
