Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-07-21 lH A group of dressed, large limestone blocks in the northeast quadrant of k22. They abut the revetment wall, f3, to the west. [Input: S721LH.j]
2008-07-30 jW Now that the north baulk of k22 has been cleaned and straightened, it is apparent that the well-dressed stones of this feature are aligned in a row extending from a point on revetment wall, f3, northwest toward the general direction of the staircase, f21. Furthermore, we discovered a glacis, f72, which abuts f41 along its entire exposed length. [Input: S730JW.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2008-08-21 jW gB has stated that this curving line of stones may be a bin structure associated with a very early phase of the temple complex. As it became covered, f3, then a combination of stones and pavement was built as a substitue. Finally, when that was covered, the stone circle formed by installations, f37 and f46 was a replacement in the final stages of use before abandonment. [Input: S821JW.j]
Harmonization 2009-02-18 jW As the excavations around this feature continued, its relationship with the extension of the revetment wall, f3, was clarified. At first this structure appeared to abut wall, f3. Later, as f3 was more fully excavated, it became clear that structure, f41, was earlier than and continued under f3 to the southeast. Thus, we concluded that f3 overlaid f41, they being separated by a thin layer of soil which was not assigned a separate feature number. See v98b. [Input: T218JW.j]
