Interpretation

Function Was this a stairway? It appear too shallow & no flagstones were along them on the slope at the correct angle; however, the correct angle of the walkway could have been at a lessor angle at the time of use; they were all floating--no associated surface; if it were a terrace wall, 5K77 should have picked it up in its SW corner, but it didn't; a terrace wall only 3 m long seem unlikely

Stratigraphy remarks We have made Wall 2 both below & above L 1; the earth removed from the wall & below it is, however, separated by pail--pail 17
