f 116
nr This feature, consisting of what turned out to be multiple layers of accumulation, ran N-S along the E baulk of k13.  It was dug as a narrow exploratory trench in order to trace the layer of baqaya found along the N baulk and to determine the stratigraphic sequence of any accumulations that overlaid it.  We found that f116 was a mix of material from accumulations f114, f121 and f120, each of which was distinctive, but thin.  These features were then excavated separately in the remainder of locus k13.

k 13
dy While cleaning along the edge of the north baulk on Q814, a layer of baqaya, f109, was found.  Tracing it to the south became the primary objective of today's excavation, because of its similarity to the baqaya surface of f50 in k12. We excavated a narrow trench along the E baulk to trace f109 to the south.  We then used the profile to determine that there were three thin layers of accumultion covering f109 to the west, which were then removed.  During removal, we noticed a dark patch of soft soil in the SW corner, f122.
