Accumulations
The accumulations in J2 can be mostly attributed to a natural build-up with accumulation type D, or natural accumulations, representing 38% of all the layering and 75% of all accumulations.
The most notable accumulations are those which are not attributed to natural occurences. Between the pavements in k100 there were thin accumulations, attributed to Accumulation type A. Examples of this include:
Scattered use areas account for a number of other accumulations. Some of these accumulations are ashy and indicative of the kinds of activities that were taking place in front of the apron and revetment wall. Examples of this kind of accumulation include:
