Definition 2009-09-14 jW wall [Input: T914JW.j]
Description (summary) 2009-09-14 jW This group of features comprises two small, isolated components which we believe are the top of a pre-EDIII wall system atop which ^wall2 was built. Although we have no direct evidence of the date of its construction, a wall to the east, J1^wall2, which has a similar orientation and construction, was securely dated to the Late Chalcolithic period.

Time Sequencing

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on time sequencing 2008-09-03 jW Tentatively assigned to Phase 2h in the J5A Phase sequence. This is primarily due to Late Chalcolithic ceramics found in a similar wall segment in J1 and the fact that the EDIII revetment wall was built atop segment f284. [Input: S903JW4.j]
