Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-18 jW The accumulation between the south face of the final iteration of revetment wall, f3, and the northeast excavated face of k100. It extends from the southwest corner of k22, through k11 and k1 to J1. There is a relatively thin surface layer which probably reflects the natural aeolian accumulation that has built up since f3 was partially excavated in several previous seasons. Underneath is a brown layer of soil, then patches of reddish baqaya, then the top of an ashy series of laminiations, f158. [Input: S818JW.j]
