Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2008-09-21 pC is bonded to staircase J2f130 and also it belongs to the major construction phase of the temple terrace: structurally is the eastern boundary of the staircase in the third millennium. We did not excavated to see the bottom of the wall and also not in the eastern part to proof if the wall is bounded or not with the staircase or it is abutting it; from the western part it seems bonded. f164 abuts it, therefore f129 must be older than h33 [Input: S921PC.j]
Typological reasons for assignment 2008-09-21 pC the construction way is the same as for staircase J2f131 [Input: S921PC.j]
