Description/Count
Description 2009-7-23cJC This feature is the south section of all of J2. We have assigned it to k54 which is an over-arching locus we have been using for all the cleaning operations at the beginning of MZ22 (2009) before the squares are reestablished. The section is clearly composed of brickmelt and brickfall. The section was cut back about 50 centimeters to remove the eroded pieces and also to create more room in front of the apron for the J2 excavations of this year. Several q-lots were collected from this feature.
2009-8-20cJC Very large brickfall accumulation. It is composed of red and gray bricks. It was originally the cut of the south section but when removed it was completely composed of brickfall. At the lowest part there are large partial pieces of bricks, as we move up the section we see small portions of bricks, brickmelt and at the top the pieces of brick are almost indistinguisable but certainly still the same material only more degraded.

Recovery/Assignment and the Record
Argument 2009-8-3cJC The scraping of the south section of k15 and k5 revealed only brickfall. Originally this feature was described as mixed but now we can see it is very uniformly brickfall. This is the same situation as the scraping of the west section of k14 and k15, therefore, both f338 and f341 (section scraping) are brickfall and are the same feature.
Harmonization 2009-9-2cJC When we first began excavations we assigned the whole J2 area (except k13 and k100) to k54 because we did not have squares strung yet. Now that we have the squares this feature can be assigned to k15 and k5.
