Definition 2010-03-26 sC mix feature [Input: U322SC.j]
Description (summary) 2010-03-26 sC This feature number has been assigned to the cleaning of the small small portion of the E baulk of k83 still present in the south portion of the locus. This feature consists, stratigraphically of the natural accumulations found thorughout the whole J04 area at this elevation, which are mainly wind and water-born accumulations. The portion of the E section of k83 left in the south portion of the locus, as visible in v26 is very small since this locus is interested by the cut of T10, a trench dug in the 2001 excavation season during a survery of the tell mound by a team of the university of Tubingen, directed by Prof. Peter Pfalzner. The section has been exposed since the 2004 scavation season, and the soil is crumble and soft in consistence and fine in texture. [Input: U322SC.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2010-03-26 sC We assigned a feature number to the cleaning of the E baulk in order to keep track of the pottery recovered while removing the small portion of the E baulk left. As such, f52 is an 'artificial feature' and for this reason, there will not be any contact association between f94 and other features. [Input: U322SC.j]
