This view shows the newly created loci within A12, k29 (the inner circle) and k30 (the outer circle). They were created because gb was afraid that millenia of rainwater pouring into the fissure had contaminated the accumulation along the outside of the circle with later material. Therefore, in order to ensure that a sample of the material collected would remain uncontaminated by the fissure material, we separated k27 into two loci, the outer a ring with a width of one meter, and the inner consisting of the rest of the circle. We assigned new feature numbers to the features within these two loci as we excavated them; so in this photo, f408 is still applied to the black seed layers in both k29 and k30, but a new number will be applied as soon as we begin to excavate it. Meanwhile, both f413 and f414 are equivalent to the older feature f405. v232a is a wider, overhead view of the whole circle. |
