Best image | 2009-9-9 | cJC | ![]() v199 |
Description | 2009-8-17 | cJC | Sherd, bone and small pebble floor. This floor is primarily composed of very small (about 2-4cm) sherds and bones. The bones break apart very easily and are difficult to excavated. The sherds are almost uniformly tiny. The floor was very colorful with many green sherds and many light colored sherds and some red sherds. Combined with the bones the sherds stood out very well from the background of the brown soil that the forms the main underlying layer of the floor. The sherds are very firmly embedded and the surface is very hard when picked. |
Daily | 2009-8-17 | cJC | Today we exposed this pavement in the afternoon, photographed and relayed it and began removing it. |
Argument | 2009-8-17 | cJC | mKB says the size of the sherds is indicative of a well-used walking surface, normally a street. This may indicate a heavy use of the area immediately in front of the staircase f380. |
Procedure | 2009-8-17 | cJC | When removing this feature we scooped the dirt into zambils with either our hands or with the dustpan so we could be sure to collect the most sherds rather than with the shovel. |
