2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-09-02 lC Accumulation above the stone installation f141. This layer is very compact and gray in color. Just few sherds are coming from this accumulation. At the beginning we thought it was a kind of floor, because of its hardness and aspect, but removing a small portion of it, looking for the face of same mud bricks that were next to it, we found all the stones of f141. Moreover also f89 that was above f140 was very compact and constituted of bricky material like f140. [Input: S902LC.j]
