capstones
Wall's top blocks
Capstones are the finishing or crowning stones placed at the top of a wall, building, or monument.
The term extends to any culminating achievement or final touch: The treaty was the capstone of years of diplomatic effort.
A capstone course or capstone project is the final, integrative work in an academic program.
