2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2006-08-20 sC f22 is the topsoil in k63 which covers the whole unit. It is characterized by a crumble and soft consistence, by a loose and fine texture (a bit dusty when removed) and by the presence of several bushes and rooths. While removing this feature we noticed the presence of small stones. Only few pottery sherds have been collected. f22 is greyish in color on the surface, but, once removed it is characterized by a dark brown colouration, due to the presence of several roots and organic material.
