Summary 2009-09-09 cJC Staircase under the main visible staircase (f130) that is part of the larger monumental structure. f380 likely represents an earlier construction phase based on the large step up between f380 and f131. This staircase has only 3 visible steps with a fourth possible under f130. It was assigned its own feature number in MZ22 to distinguish the first staircase (f380) from the second staircase (f130).

2. IDENTIFICATION

Labeling

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on labeling 2009-08-19 cJC Previously the whole staircase was referred to as f130 but this season we found it necessary to refer to the two building phases separately and so we have assigned f380 to the lower (first) staircase. [Input: T819CJC2.j]
