Description (summary) 2008-07-28 pc f46 is a highly compacted floor surface in k84: it has some sherds laying flat (a khabur painted sherd was just above it) and is dark brown in color. It is the same surface found in J4k84 North J4f119 and J4f79 [Input: S728PC.J]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2009-02-05 pc During the excavation f46 was recognised as floor surface. It is a very compact surface and therefore was possible to give such definition. After looking carefully in the section (w200), this feature is located in the same elevation as the brickmelt f70 in k85 and it seems is going under it. I think f46 is more the brickmelt, which is also very compact. In v27 are clerly visible melted bricks. Also f46 is located on top of the brickfall f53 as the brickmelt f70 [Input: SZ31PC.J]

Notes on time sequencing 2008-07-23 pC this feature is a very compacted floor: gB told us to look for a layer which seals the layer underneath from the layer above: f46 is very compacted and could be a transitional feature. f46 was found also in k84 when was excavated as J4, which was J4f79 [Input: S723PC.J]
