Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-07-28 lR A compact layer, similar to brick melt f27 in hardness and lack of inclusions but gray in color sloping dramatically in the north, forming a semi-circular nook measuring 170x70 cm and 46 cm depth. In k12, the same matrix is present in the eastern half of the locus, f52. Both these areas show a compact bricky surface with no clear brick lines and areas that slope down. [Input: S728LR.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-07-29 lR Continued to remove f58, in 10 cm increments for a total of 20 cm starting from the south end working towards the north. Under f58, stones began to emerge labeled as f61. These are rounded cobbles, similar in size to f50 and f43 located in the western side of k14 south of f63 wall. Bricks also emerged north of f58, possibly part of f41 wall in k13 that extends east into k14. f58 covers f63, f61 and f63. [Input: S729LR.j]
