Best definition 2009-08-01 lC accumulation C [Input: T812MM3.j]
Summary 2009-09-11 lC One of the first accumulation below the filling of the second escarpment. This accumulation seems going under f309 to the north, so it is clearly earlier than the first escarpment. The pottery still shows a mix between ED III and LC sherds. Probably this let us interpret this feature as belonging to the period immediately before the construction of the early escarpment, when the ED III people cut and moved the earlier accumulations and levels in order to prepare for the construction of the temple terrace, with the escarpment and the revetment wall.
