Recovery/Assignment

Argument 2008-08-18 dL This almost trapezoidal feature sits in the S zone of k14 and is delimited at W by f140 (row of stones that goes N to S), at N by f142 (small row of stones that go N to S) and f109 (two big stones in the middle of the locus), at E by f123 (row of stones that goes NW to SE) and at S by the S baulk of the square. There is no red material at E of f123 for at least 30 cm, and there's also no red material between f123 and the pillar of soil under the W stone of f109, in the 40cm-sided square that could be a kind of entrance.
