Description/Count

description (summary)

2008-8-11

Multiple accumulations of deep ash ranging in shades of gray pink to dark black sloping into k2 from presumably the northwest (slope visible in section). This ash was found in the entire locus, except for a small patch of f16 then a larger patch of f98 in the northeast corner. The ash is also present in the western half of k12 as well as in A18. In A18, a deep vertical section shows the ash extending down several meters. In k2, we stopped excavating the ash at the same elevation as A18, an arbitrary stopping point.

Recovery/Assignment

daily notes	2008-8-04	lR	removed approximately 10 cm from the southern end of k2, all ash with several areas containing laminations, patches of brown soil alternating with darker stains of charcoal. The presence of laminations suggests that the ash was not dumped at one time but over a period of time enough for water to pool forming laminations. The ash continues to be clean, meaning few inclusions of pottery and animal bones, quite different from f60 and f62.	[Input File: S804.J]
	2008-8-05	lC	Today we continued to excavate the ashy layer f22, uncovering in part a harder and compact layer brown in color. Almost at the and of the morning we found a large amount of small bones, according to lR probably pertinent to a bird or to a rodent, and we used a sifter to take all the small bones.	[Input File: S805lC.j]
	2008-8-09	lR	On S807 we reached the elevation of A18's pebble and sherd pavement in k12 and decided to stop excavating the ash. We then moved into k2, excavated f22 down 15 cm to reach the same elevation as k12 and A18. By the end of the day, this was achieved. Some small patches remain in the southeast corner that will be removed tomorrow.	[Input File: S809lr.j]

Function

notes on function

2008-8-11

The depth of this ash and lack of inclusions (clean ash) suggests this accumulation is the result of a specific activity requiring firing. The presence of several colors in layers with laminations present also suggests that the ash was not accumulated in one moment but over several moments enough to leave differences in colors and water to pool forming laminations.
