1997-06-25	rK	DNS practiced picking along with BSH in k22 (f358). rK went over some practical aspects of coding journal entries with bsh. [Input: H627RK.J]
1997-06-26	rK	RK covered the following points with DNS and BSH. (1) Need for precise descriptions, especially of features. (2) Use of a [accumulation] and f [floor] subcategories [aa-ad; fa-fd], once these can be determined. (3) Useful categories under "incidentals" for journal entry: -dy, -mt, -sg, -sn, -sr, and -su [Manual, p. 17]. (4) Depositional verbs [p. 17]. (5) encoding for pottery, overall shape [p. 18]. (6) The need to make strata assignments and to articulate stratigraphy related arguments. (7) Q-lots; filling in the slot for location. (8) View descriptions as part of the journal. We have been fairly successful in processing items regularly so that there is no backlog in any real sense. Files too have been entered regularly. [Input: H627RK.J]
