Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-24 sE The volumetric material of a probe 50cm wide in k33, running north-south along f205 and the southernmost stones of f239: the trench has been made to investigate the nature and the relationship between this two stone-installations. It consist mainly of f238 and possibly of the pebbles of f254, continuing north. [Input: T824SE1.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2009-08-26 jW ACTION: We finished excavating the exploratory trench, f286.
RESULT: We found that the stones of installation, f194, are bonded with the stones of the top four steps of installations, f205 and f257. The lowest set of stones, f266, appear associated with the line of stones, f276, and appear to form an escarpment above accumulations above the stones of ^esc1. Their relationsip with f205, f257, and f194 will have to be determined in a future excavation season. [Input: T826JW.j]
Strategy (projected or implemented) 2009-08-24 jW PROPOSED ACTION: We will make a small 50cm-wide probe to the north from the stairs of f205 to the stone structure, f194, just to the west of stones, f276.
PURPOSE: The purpose is to see how these features are related and their place in the stratigraphic sequence. [Input: T824JW.j]
