2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-16 lC Mud brick wall running north to south in k3 just next to the eastern baulk. Only few centimeters of the bricks are visible near the section. This wall could be part of the same structure formed with the wall f107 in k4. We will be clearer only after the removal of the baulk which prohibits us to visually link the two walls.

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-09 lR Removed the pavement f35 and assigned f90 to the soil underneath the pavement. The matrix appears identical to f35, a gray granular bricky soil but mixed with ash, presumably from f36 that is visible underneath in section. The area was leveled, making it flat to make it easier to see bricks or structures if present. At the end of the day, gray bricks similar to f71 wall in k4, emerged but only 2 bricks. [Input: S809LR.j]
2008-08-16 lR In k4, we removed several centimeters to come towards the bricks of f99, exposing the faces from the west. Immediately, pavement f112 was found, west of f99. This pavement is under f90, forming a much nicer and more compacted surface than f35 pavement that was found in the same area but 10 cm higher in elevation. Lots of animal bones are sitting on this pavement, including a horn, mandibles, several long bones, and a skull of a smaller animal, perhaps a dog. [Input: S816LR.j]
