Recovery/Assignment

Daily notes about recovery of elements 1992-07-11 rK As this floor was being excavated with the goal of finding the faces of the brickwall that it abuts, Jaffar (?) discovered a tannur in the middle of the S 1/2 of the locus. It was excavated very carefully by him but only partially so far since priority is given to going down the floor. [Input: C7-3.J]
Notes on recovery 1992-07-06 rK A sealing and another clay lump for seal was recovered today from the area being renamed f23. Workmen were instructed not to remove objects from their emplacement if detected in place and to call us first. [Input: C7-1-D.J]

4. TYPOLOGY

Morphology

Roster Date Author Record
Components (within element) 1992-07-19 RK It should be noted and is quite evident from the section the S baulk of k217 that at least in the SW quadrant of the locus, top soil penetrated below the layer I called f23, even into f45. [Input: C7-3.J]
1992-07-19 RK this pink-red abandonment layer ac in k217 is very closely packed. Has single layer of bricks along with graves in it. f64, a burial, and f65, a large bowl which might be associated with a burial, are present in this layer. The tannur, f38, is more or less at the interface between f23 and f45 as I defined them. There was a layer of brick in the NE quadrant which, in fact, overlaid a grave, f64. A line of bricks appeared in the E section in the NE quadrant and picking it with the handpick clearly showed that something other than accumulation is present--could be a layer of bricks as found associated with the burials.
