Drawing of the western face of the flank staircase wall f129. The wall flanks the staircase for an overall lenght of 12.67 m. The beginning of the wall at the southern side, where also the steps of the staicase begin, is marked by two stones f100, f177 set in oblique fashion. Between the oblique stone f100 and the southern face of the wall f129, mudbricks are laid to give the same inclination as oblique stone f177, which is thicker. The wall f129 is buttressed in the southwesten end. The buttress is 1.20 m wide at the base and sticks out for ca. 0.15 m in respect of the remaining portion of the wall. The entire upper portion of the wall f127 is covered by large and medium-sized angular flat stones, resting on top of a thick and irregular layer of mud. Here is also visible the staircase, which is desribed in Unit J2. It is possible to see from this drawing, different construction techniques of the staircase and of the wall (and of course here are visible several construction phases). [Input: ZJ116pC.j] |
