A98.NLabeling 2008-9-1pC We decided to name this series of compacted surfaces glacis, for the similarity with situation in J3, were North of the revetment wall were found several layers of hard compacted surfaces sloping and intentionally set to cover the temple mound. In the case of J6, we encontered also several surfaces which for similarity of consistence and inclusions and for the comparable structural situation, was decided to give the same name, even if for glacis normally is seen a coating beginning from a wall or construction. In this case wall f127 (^wal l5) is the structural component of this (see a2) [Input file: U717PC2.J / U717PC2.-J]

Description/Count
Description 2008-9-1pC a hard and highly compacted surface with small pebbles (>1 cm) and some sherds lying flat, found directly east of ^wal l6 and south of ^wal l12, directly under ^b f2. It is a surface covering almost all J6 and is found at a high elevation. The characteristic of this surface is that it slopes toward South especially in k85 (9000 higher level, 8912 lower level). The very topmost surface flakes off, while the bottom part is very crumbly. In some points is damaged. [Input file: U717PC2.J / U717PC2.-J]
