Recovery/Assignment and the Record
Daily 2009-8-16cJC Today we exposed what remains of this feature in k100. It was easy to identify but appears to be slightly damaged from the backfill and the backfill removal. It was photographed ( v192) to show its current state.
2009-8-17cJC We removed this pebble floor. It was formed entirely of large pebbles and was sitting in a brown soil.
