2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-07-21 lR A compact ashy surface where the sherd pavement f35 is embedded in. Underneath is f90. [Input: S811LR6.j]
2008-07-28 lR Initially defined as interface layer between brickfall and ash consisting of broken bricks within an ashy soft fill. We expected to only have a few centimeters of this layer then reach ash but instead a tannur f42 and a cobblestone pavement f50 was found resulting in keeping this feature as the matrix above the pavement and around the broken bricks to the south.
