Description (summary) 2008-09-02 jW This specic label describes a monumental stone strucure comprising a dressed stone staircase, f21, which rises from west to east; a row of boulders which forms the northern edge, f14 and f108; a row of dressed stones and small boulders, f20 and f99, which forms the southern edge; accumulations, f65 and f66, which border f14 immediately to the north; the north edge of a platform, f140, at the top of the staircase, and a threshold, f123, that probably leads to a path to the BA temple. These components were built in the Mittani period during the westward retrenchment. [Input: S902JW.j]
