| '''Djamonkin Crater''', known to locals as '''Djamonkin Augh''', (meaning "'''Big Man's Water'''"), was the [[human]] name for a location on [[Earth]] during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], believed to be the site of former [[Precursor]] activity.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=11}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CryptumGlossary|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/text/cryptum-glossary/62e29c59-a3f9-4b63-af76-def71fda5459|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Cryptum Glossary|D=14|M=03|Y=2014|LocalArchive=Halo: Cryptum/Glossary}} | | {{Stub}} |

| ==History==
| | The crater was flooded, with a small island in the center. The waters surrounding the island were populated by [[merse]], which were likely transplanted there from their homeworld by the [[Librarian]]. The island itself was uninhabited, but in the center was located a [[Forerunner]] monument or artifact of some kind. |
| [[Riser]]'s family's ''[[geas]]'', imposed by the Librarian as part of her plan, made them spend many generations trying to penetrate the traps and reach the area inside.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=48-49}} Several years before the [[Halo Array|Halos]] were [[Great Purification|fired]], the crater was visited by [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]], along with [[Chakas]] and Riser. With their help, he breached the baffler and found the Didact's Cryptum within.{{Ref/Reuse|c60}}

| The Librarian recreated the crater as part of [[Bastion]], a [[shield world]] built to resemble Earth and her secret laboratory. In late [[2558]], [[343 Guilty Spark]], who had been Chakas before becoming a [[Monitor]], visited Bastion's version of the crater as he processed everything that had happened to him and his new duties as Bastion's caretaker.{{Ref/Novel|PoL|Chapter=Epilogue}} | | The artifact site was surrounded by a [[baffler]], probably to discourage curious humans. [[Riser]]'s family spent many generations trying to penetrate the baffler and reach the area inside. |
