Stratigraphy


This phase consists of the natural build up of the Tell Surfaces, which includes natural accumulations and topsoils. This phase does not present any eidence of human activities. The first layers are mixed features of backfill, cleaning and surface layers such as f51, f52, f68. the following stratum are the topsoil layers with a sub stratum of an erosion layer where some lime stones were found and some natural accumulationlayers and brickmelt layers laying on top of a natural accumulation stratum with a sub stratumof erosion indicated by the presence of scattered limestones.
