Recovery/Assignment

Daily notes about recovery of elements 2002-09-07 MISSING We removed a small portion on the west side following one of the layers seen in section. We decided to stop excavating the area and concentrate on scraping and cleaning the surface. The southern cut of the section was also shaved back 10cm, which exposed a fresh section with clear sloping lines that matched the surface layers (a photograph was taken of this v94). From plan view one can see the top lines of these layers seen in the south section. [Input: M907LR.j]
2002-09-09 lR We tried to follow the sloping layers in the south section which revealed two layers; f266 a reddish layer and below f282 a gray ashy layer. f266 was followed and removed but when the workmen tried to follow f282 it seemed to disappear and was too difficult to see. The area was then cleaned and several bricks were noticed on the surface along with the circular lines that were noticed last season, which defined f250. The bricks are inside this circular pattern on the western end. This may be another burial. [Input: N304LR2.j]
Strategy (projected or implemented) 2002-09-09 lR We plan to follow f282 gray from the cut of the burial f206 since we see it clearly on that side in section. We will then be able to follow it going north to south and come down to the same level that is already exposed on the western side. [Input: -MX12-99.j]
