Yet more anomalies in the plain of Troy

 I have recently discovered more probable flood control interventions in the plain of Troy.  

1.  An anomaly to the east of a berm identified in an earlier post.  

In the photo below, the area I am talking about is bounded by a road on its north side.  It is just south of, and has a shape similar to the hill below Kalifat.  This is kind of small and worn down, but it was surely larger three or four millennia ago.  

2. There is a prominence on the east side of the Mendere, near the top of the plain.  

There are at least three anomalies that need explaining here. 

I have circled a declivity in orange. In yellow two prominences are circled.  I figure these are ancient and that they probably have to do with flood control.  The two prominences can be treated as one problem.  I think they deflect flood waters.  I have no explanation for the declivity.  It might be intended to slow down flood waters by making them fill the declivity before moving forward down the plain. But it seems to be on such a steep incline that it would not stop much water.  The photo might be misleading as to how steep that incline is, however.  

Below is a flood control vision involving the two prominences at the top of the plain. We are looking south east.  

When the Medere is flooding, the water spreads out at the top of the plain. The structures at the top of the plain begin the process of channeling the water so as to get most of it past the city in its least harmful way, namely, in the river bed west of the city.  These structures also divert some water toward the edges of the plain, slowing its approach to the city. So, they divide the flood into three parts, two edges and a center.  

Outlined in yellow below are all seven of the raised earth anomalies I have identified in the plain.
