2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-07-28 lR A thick accumulation of brick fall from presumably a collapse of structures nearby. Large broken bricks are uniformly found within a softer matrix. Approximately 25 cm thick, this feature transitions into compact bricky mass with larger brick components present, some complete bricks forming f41, wall. The brickfall also covered f59, a hearth sitting on bricks from f41. [Input: S728LR.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-07-28 lR We continued to excavate this feature today, removing 10 cm, thinking that we found the bottom since in the east a nice ash level was found, presumably the end of brickfall. The layer however was only localized in the east, with the matrix towards the east resembling a combination of brick melt and brick fall. The soil is hard, bricky; some lines are present but don't form any structures or pattern. Tomorrow, the area will be scraped and cleaned to see if any more bricks surface. If not, we should consider changing the feature to define it as more compact than the brickfall above. [Input: S728LR.j]
2008-08-25 lC We finished removing part of f30, to find a compact surface, visible in section, and to find more bricks of the wall f41. [Input: S825LC.j]
