2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-04-06 jW A wall system consisting of an arc of large, square-cut stones extending to the west from underneath a much later rough stone wall, then gradually turning to the north. It appears to also run under the bottom step of staircase, f21. A mud escarpment, f21, extends south and west from the wall's outer edge. The function of the wall is not known. Because it is partially covered by the later, Mittani wall, f3, and its stone glacis, f4 and f199, we do not know its origin or function. Stratigraphically it should fit with the wall system, specific label wall 3. [Input: T406JW.j]
