It stone-like compact reddish accumulation runs against the revetment wall from J1 and continues its way till k12. This feature was covered by the compact natural accumulation, f158.

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on recovery 2008-08-26 lH We thought that this feature was hard enough to have been an escarpment. However, it contained charcoal sand, and pottery sherds. This means that it`s the floor accumulation above the escarpment but not the escarpment itself. [Input: S826LH.j]
