2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-09-02 lC Thick layer of accumulation above the floor f142. This accumulation presents numerous sherds, pebbles and bones. The soil is of bricky clay, with some patches of gray ash above all in its southern portion. Many also the fragments of broken bricks, both of the gray and red kind. It is compact and generally gray-brownish in color. It is interpreted as a fill inside the structure, probably like an accumulation of abandonment. [Input: S902LC.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-17 lC Today we continued to remove the baulk between our k101 and the old A19k99, looking for the continuation of the vertical mud brick wall f115. After removing f119, considered as a fill inside the structure, we found more vertical bricks just above the bricks already exposed, in the northern part of the baulk. Towards the west we didn't find more bricks and tomorrow we will continue to excavate f119. [Input: S817LC.j]
2008-08-23 lC Today we continued to remove f119 south and north to the vertical bricks f137. In the northern half we uncovered part of a nice floor; f142, that we will finish to uncover tomorrow. In the southern half we preceded more slowly because of the presence of some mud bricks and we have to check if they are simply broken bricks from a brickfall or some kind of installations. At the end of the morning a skull of a small animal was found just next to the southern section of k101. [Input: S823LC.j]
2008-08-25 lC we removed f137, some vertical bricks in the southern part of k101 and we excavated f119. [Input: S825LC.j]
