Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Procedures 2004-07-29 aP f84.40 is the last of the floating stones we removed; we decided to keep separate the material coming from the pedestal for a more accurate analysis of the pottery sherds. The stones (f84)in fact sealed f103 and 125 and f126 could be a sample of this incontaminate material since in the pedestal are present both the features (f103 and f125). Practically f126 is equal to f105 (and f120) in the upper part; equal to f125 in the lower part. [Input: O807AP1.j]
Problems in recording 2010-12-27 cJC The elevation given in the feature log was listed using a relay which produced the top elevation error. When the elevation is calculated by hand using the elevation of the relay as a starting point the elevation is calculated at 8994, which is below the listed bottom elevation. The top elevation is therefore unknown. [Input: U809YM.j]

Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2011-11-21 cJC Although this feature contains mixed materials from f125 and f103 it can not be securely dated. Likely the majority of the material belongs to f155, the period of post-brickfall use, however, the upper portions, just under the stone (as well as the stone) are part of the accumulation after.
