2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-17 lC Fill inside the wall or box structure f64. It is a soft ashy soil found below the vertical bricks of f64, where one brick was missing. It seems quite disturbed visible by the numerous rodent holes present. The fill is soft and just a small part of it has been excavated so we don't know how deep it goes and the relationship to the wall or structure. [Input: S817LC.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-09 lR sE made an interesting observation that the bricks of f64 have a set of horizontal and vertical bricks, whereas it was assumed the wall was constructed only of horizontal bricks that are visible in the north section. The area was further articulated finding an area where a brick was missing, thus forming a probe into the area under the bricks. A new feature was created, f88 defined as fill between the bricks, showing a soft ashy soil with a few vertical bricks sitting on this ashy soil f88. [Input: S809LR.j]
