2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-07-31 jW A layer of accumulation or fill, seen in section, which abuts the east side of revetment wall, f3, then extends into the east baulk of k22. It covers layer f90 and is covered by f88. The layers are distinguished by small variations in color and texture. [Input: S731JW.j]
2008-08-16 jW This laminar accumulation is very similar to those on the west side of the revetment wall, f3. This may mean that the top stones were above any glacis which may have been a part of the temple mound. [Input: S816JW.j]

Typological reasons for assignment 2008-08-17 mKB date determined by looking at shapes and decoration only; pottery lots will receive a full analysis at a later time. Date: probably Phase 1 with later sherds from Phase 5 and possibly Phase 4 (but this would need to be checked in further q lots from the same feature). Date based on preliminary examination of shapes and decoration. [Input: S817MKB.j]
