Abstract

The main archaeological site (Locality 2), located some 400m to the south of the tourist area, is backed by a wind-eroded arena approximately 80m long and 30m wide, cut into a series of sand units which display three main soil formations totaling about 5m in depth, all resting on the basal calcarenite.
