Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
Description This column protrudes only about 0.15 m out of the west balk, so the measurement of its diameter is very approximate — about 0.80 m . Excavation in this trench did not reveal the second drum before it was decided to close the trench, so it is not proven that this column is in situ. However, it is almost exactly where we would expect to find a column based on what is known about the inter-axial spacing of the Lower Temenos Colonnades.
Top (m) Top elevation: 900.466 m.
Definition Column in southwest corner of trench.
