Figure 17. Close up view of quarry marks. Below the 10-cm scale stick the groove in which wood wedges soaked with water were jammed is clearly visible. Because of the fine-grained igneous texture, the basalt blocks split of smoothly, similar to a flint sliver knapped from a core. 1 November, 2016.
Figure 23. The cleaned portion of exposed floor. Proper care of this water source will require periodic cleaning of the entire reservoir floor, at times when the entire water supply is used up. 27 October, 2016.
