Remarks

Remarks:

The fallen orientation is roughly E-W; discovered in U06; larger end of the stone had plaster about 2 cm thick; it would have been on the bottom of the stone when in situ; it ca square in shape; it separated cleanly when the stone was lifted; see Photo 08B12170 for the plaster; this photo shows the stone after it was lifted and set against Stair 29 temporarily; it appears that way in several photos, but says nothing about the team's belief about the in-situ appearance of the stone
