2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 1996-07-10 rK This feature is located for the most part within the N baulk of k218 in the NW corner. The layer of bricks, f36, was adjacent to it. At about this level,in close proximity extending into k168, was f67, a horizontal layer of plastered stones, just below the topsoil (see v22). This was excavated during MZ7. There is a large stone slab, width 50-56cm, 75-80cm long, 10-15cm thick, resting at the bottom level of f111, its largest surface facing S, at 45 deg. to the vertical. Underneath it are sherd and rocks. We have wondered in the past if this covered a burial. [Input: G716RK.J]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 1996-07-14 rK Most of this assemblage has been removed. Underneath the slanted flat rock, in addition to other unworked stones, was a stone with a depression in its center, resembling a door socket or mortar. [Input: G718RK.J]
1996-07-19 rK It was noted on going over notes from MZ7 season that the long slab of rock that was found at an angle in the locus and described previously this season was in fact not it its original position. It had been found lying flat over the ac and rocks that form this feature. It had been moved by the excavator because of the danger of its falling down on top of workmen in the loci below (to the N & W) since it was lying at the top, close to the W end of the baulk.
