Labeling

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on labeling 1996-07-31 rK A8f69 (in the W of locus) and A8f72 (against the wall f210) pertain to f177 in A6. However since they did not start at the top level of f177, for the sake of simplicity they have been assigned a separate feature number (f212) until all of f177 is cleared. [Input: G806RK.J]

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 1996-07-25 rK brick and ash close to f78. Must be brickfall and fire related activity. [Input: G803RK.J]
1996-07-27 rK extends 40-50 cm in height along the S 1/2 of the locus. The S platform along A8 on the E and the baulk on the S is 480 EW x 280 NS [Input: G803RK.J]
1996-07-30 rK 50-100 cm from the S baulk of k218 (with walls and doorway) the accumulation was harder and denser, but there is not much evidence of brickfall. [Input: G806RK.J]
1996-07-31 rK Bottom levels of f177 are given by relays 397-400. [Input: G806RK.J]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 1996-07-23 rK The second cut in f177 clearly brought us to a new stratum, with finds of several interesting objects including piece of a tannur. Most likely we will dig with the handpick from here on down. The ac is brownish black (?), looser; we are past the abandonment accumulation. f160 begins the abandonment layer; f177 ends it! [Input: G803RK.J]
1996-07-24 rK soil sample collected; excavation in the feature so far today 30 cm down. [Input: G803RK.J]
1996-07-25 rK A 20 cm deep 285x75x20 section was cut at the W end of the lower cut in this feature, using the large and hand picks. Had lenses of carbonized material and ash--q555. [Input: G803RK.J]
1996-07-27 rK Change feature numbers below f177 at this point. [Input: G803RK.J]
1996-07-30 rK We have not gone past the level at which we found a large bone flat on the ground in f177 on G725. Since then we have concentrated on bringing the S part of the locus down the same level. There is also a lot of ash at the base of the W end of the wall f78 at this level. We will most likely call this a new feature from this level down, once the whole locus is levelled. [Input: G806RK.J]
1996-08-03 rK a significant number of clay samples retrieved from this layer (while seeking seal impressions) were quite burnt. However, the feature as a whole does not reflect a lot of burning or presence of ash. [Input: G803RK.J]
