2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-15 jW Two large, flat stones in the middle east of k105, oriented northwest to southeast, approximatedly in line with the stones of stone escarpment, ^esc1. They are about 40cm to the northwest of the base of stone wall, f41, and separated from it by a layer of broken limestones, f267. [Input: T815JW.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2009-08-26 jW ACTION: We finished removing wall, f255, its foundation, f277, and the soil beneath down to the level of the stones of ^esc1, f265, and the pebble floor abutting it to the west, f288.
RESULT: It is clear that all of the large, cut stones that we exposed belong to f265 and that there is no pavement of these large stone extending to the west in the north corner of k105. [Input: T826JW.j]
Strategy (projected or implemented) 2009-08-24 jW PRPOPOSED ACTION: We must remove the remaining western part of wall, a11, namely f255 and f260 and excavate the accumulations underneath to the level of ^esc1.
PURPOSE: To determine what happens to the first escarpment, f265, as it follows wall, f41, to the north. Is it similar to f225 and f184 or does it change to a stone pavement extending to the west from f41? [Input: T824JW.j]
