Description (summary) 2002-09-26 fAB holes in a12 [Input: MX12FAB.j]
2002-09-26 fAB two holes aligned EW cut into a hole of pavement a12. These two holes do not seem to be part of a door socket since the inside is not worn smooth by the turning of a post, but is lightly ridged by the tool that cut the holes. Holes come to a point at base. Probably not part of a roofing structure since we assume that the wall to the N would be at some distance, too far for a sheltering roof; this will be seen in later seasons when we excavate to the N.

Notes on conservation or analysis 2002-09-26 fAB We asked bA and sB to come and look at the dark stain on the inside of both holes in case it would be caused by the presence of metal; they thought it unlikely that the stain was caused by metal, but could be a product of a resin or glue-like substance.
