Definition 1999-06-20 jlw accumulation [Input: J620JLW.j]
1999-06-21 jlw accumulation C [Input: J622JLW2.j]
Description (summary) 1999-06-20 jlw distinct layer of soil with a small section of pebble floor, burned areas, a brown color (tending to some red near the eastern baulk), soft spots and a greasy texture (clumps into a ball when squeezed). [Input: J620JLW.j]
1999-06-20 jlw there are many charcoal bits as well. Also, ash lenses have been noted, and some localized layers of pebbles and sherds 9up to about 50 cm square). This is incompatible with the wad melt deposition, which we assume to have existed elsewhere in A9. It appears to be related instead to living occupation. [Input: J620JLW.j]
1999-06-21 jlw moist, greasy (clumps when squeezed) soil with charcoal inclusions. Non-uniform hardness with some soft pockets. Large amounts of pottery suggests dump. [Input: J622JLW2.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 1999-06-20 jlw less pottery from this feature than the one above, f63. Noticed a few sherds of metallic ware. [Input: J620JLW.j]
Argument 1999-06-20 jlw we may have evidence of the tapering off to the east of the late 3rd millennium settlement on the hump corresponding to A7/A2. [Input: J620JLW.j]

Volumetric Localization

Roster Date Author Record
Locus 1999-06-15 jl k3 [Input: J622JL1.j]
Level 1999-06-20 jlw we are about 60 cm above top of wall to A8/A6: if there is an AK wall, we may come upon it soon, but f101 clearly overlaps it, if any. [Input: J620JLW.j]
Notes on volumetric localization 1999-06-15 jl brownish, greasy soil with soft pockets [Input: J622JL1.j]
