Definition 2008-09-01 pC glacis [Input: S901PC9.j]
Description (summary) 2008-09-01 pC It is the glacis behind the wall f129, which is a red orange granular soil; the main characteristic is that slopes sharply to the South, beginning in a thick compact band and finishes in the range of 3 meters in a thin orizontal layer (f183). The purpose of this glacis is still not clear: a probable explanation is that is in function to protect wall f129. It probably continues to the East in f187 in k74 [Input: S901PC9.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2008-09-01 pC f187 was found in connection to wall f166 and was not excavated compleatly to see if it is the same as f164. The equivalence is based only on the assumption that the elevation and the type of material (red orange granular with Phase 3 material, as pottery and seal) in both glacis are similar. Next season will be investigated better the connection between the two. [Input: S901PC9.j]
