2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2026-06-05 pC A relatively smooth, salmon-colored floor with reddish patches covered the whole area in front of step 1 of ^apron1 and flank walls ^wall4 and ^wall2. It slopes from northeast to southwest. The floor was documented in several excavation units and loci. Fortunately, during the same excavation season in 2010, it was possible to expose the floor in J2, where it was recorded as J2f359 in front of ^apron1 and the western flank ^wall4, and as J2f373 approximately 5 meters south of ^wall6. In J6, it was recorded as J6f312 in plan, abutting the betili of ^wall2, and in section J6w109. The floor was not exposed in the trech C2, directly in front of ^stair2. Nevertheless, we assume that it extended across the whole area in front of the monumental access. See also the western section of J2k100 (J2w210). The floor was damaged by ^erosion1.
