2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-09 lR A rough pavement constructed with pottery sherds some lying flat while most are at an irregular angle concentrated within the eastern area of k3, alongside the east section continuing under the baulk into k4 (see f73 and f72). The pavement contained animal bones embedded with multiple layers of the pavement visible. One suggestion, especially viewing the pavement in k4 is that this was either an unintentional pavement created from a walking surface that embedded loose sherds into the soil or that this is an ancient wadi with sherds washed in. The presence of a channel, f83 drain to the immediate northwest of f35 suggests that water was present and diverted. In k4, the pavement is at a higher elevation, sloping down into k3.
