| Description SIA | Slag heap is c. 300 m long, 50 m wide at its widest, & rises to over 17 m. In 2000 we identified 7 separate exposed sections and drew sketch plans and sections (at the time named TP007.AU01-07). TP007 is now defined as the large section opposite the camp entrance, at the north end. Ernst and Mike took a TL sample from here. In the 2001 season the slag heap was photographed by Chris P. See section drawings by LIK done in 2002 and 2003, and topographic map done by LIK and Gary in 2002. Samples taken in both seasons. TP171 is the amphora pile; TP172 is the northern smaller slag heap. See also 20th century miners' housing at TP107. References for the church & monastery - see BU0093. References for monastery and modern mine: MJG's notes in text file. |
