Text description of view 2008-09-22 jW This final photograph shows the relationships among various stone structures in the vicinity of where the revetment wall which runs east to west and seen in units J2, J3, and J1, turns to the north. Feature f189 is the westward continuation of the ancient revetment wall. We assume that f186 is its turn to the north in the general direction of the BA temple. We further assume that f3 is a later addition, made to develop the western plaza and staircase (not shown) when its more extensive counterpart to the southeast became covered. Stone clusters f4, f198 and f188 seem to part of paving between the turns of the ancient and more recent walls. Stone cluster f6 may have served the same function for the ancient wall. Feature f5 is a baulk which remains from excavation in previous seasons. [Input: S922JW.j]
