Designation

Description (summary) 2009-08-24 sE Line of stones running east-west between the revetment wall f189 and f188. The mellon-sized limestone blocks are almost flat on the top and abut a natural accumulation, f287; their function may be the same as f267 in k105. [Input: T824SE1.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2009-08-26 jW ACTION: We finished excavating the accumulation, f287, between the northenmost stones of ^esc1, f188, and the top of an earlier wall, f284, which formed the foundation for the revetment wall, f189.
RESULT: We were hoping to find enough ceramics to help date the time of construction of f284, but there were fewer than 20 sherds after two days of excavation in that restricted space (about 20cm), almost all of which were body sherds. The most mKB could say was that they were earlier than the revetment wall, f189, which was built during the Early Dynastic period. Because we dug down as much as 20cm we could tell that the stones of f284 were large and dressed. They formed a smooth face on the top and on the south side. [Input: T826JW.j]
Strategy (projected or implemented) 2009-08-24 jW PROPOSED ACTION: We will excavate a narrow channel of soil, f288, between f189 and f284.
PURPOSE: To determine the relationship between the northenmost line of the stones of ^esc1 and the line of stones, f284, beneath the revetment wall, f189. [Input: T824JW.j]
