Description (summary) 2008-09-03 lC Accumulation interpreted as a probable fill inside a structure, now lost, formed by the mud brick wall f84 and f85 inside k101. This accumulation was below the brickfall f75 and it was gray and brown in color, quite compact, with broken pieces of bricks. The accumulation was abutting the wall f84 and f85 and interpreted as abandonment. [Input: S903LC.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-05 lC Today we continued to excavate f78, probably a fill (abandonment) inside the structure constituted by the walls f84 and f85. The area is quite disturbed because it is close to the section of A19k98 and it has been exposed for some years. [Input: S805LC.j]
2008-08-05 lR removed 10 cm from this feature today to define the bricks of f84 and f85 walls. Tentatively we have assigned f78 as fill within a struture since it appears that we are in a corner. [Input: S806LR.j]
2008-08-06 lR Excavated several centimeters from this feature today coming down on a thick clay reddish surface with white inclusions, similar to the material used in the drain f83. A portion of this material was exposed and we will continue tomorrow to see if this is merely a small patch or a subfloor. [Input: S806LR.j]
