MZS Excavations / Stratigraphy

The main frame

Giorgio Buccellati – March 2016

The frame provides the broadest ordering by horizons and phases, for the entire site. Within each phase, it gives the range of applicalble numbers for strata, but without defining any single stratum: this is left for the sequences.

The current frame version is labeled MZA, in a short and long version. We also list here earlier versions, for the sake of reference.

Current version

MZA short version September 2011
MZA full version September 2011
MZA lexicon September 2011



Earlier versions

MZA with different horizons and phases September 2008
