Description (summary) 2008-08-25 lH The gully that starts in a point near the bottom step of the staircase, f21, continue to the south parallel to the stone installation, f126. Then we can see the other part of it near the revetment wall, f3, in k22 and k12. It has chunkey texture with yellowish brown color. We photographed this feature in v105 and v106, in order to understand the sequence of the features that abut the staircase, f21, and the stone installation, f126, to the south of the staircase.
