Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-14 jW Two large limestone boulders in the middle of k13, which are aligned north to south, and which appear to form a stairway which ascends to threshold, f148, forming an entrance to floor, f143, to the south. The stones appear to be re-used in place, but were likely originally moved from another installation either by man or natural forces. [Input: S814JW.j]
