Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-13 cJC Hard gray surface. It has impressions in it implying it was a muddy wet surface that allowed pawprints to be imprinted in it. It is a level surface, with a slight slope down from the north near to the apron (f131) towards the south. The surface is relatively uneven with impressions and slight rises in it. [Input: T815CJC.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2009-08-13 cJC We found a pawprint of what is probably a dog in this feature. We photographed it as we found it and also after filling it in with powder to see if it would photograph better. [Input: T815CJC.j]
2009-08-15 cJC After discovering human footprints in this feature we have decided not to excavate it. We photographed the impressions and then decided with fAB to make plaster casts of the prints. After trying several different combinations we settled on a process using a wood frame, baby powder covering the dirt and then filling the frame with gypsum plaster. We tested the process and it seems to work fine to we took a cast of one print. We are still awaiting the final results but the initial result was a clear print. We may have a problem with the baby powder clinging to the dirt in the excavation area. [Input: T815CJC.j]
2009-08-16 cJC Today we found three human footprints impressed in f381 in addition to the animal print we had already found. We photographed the prints and took plaster casts. Only one plaster cast really turned out so we stopped casting them and decided to backfill until next year. [Input: T819CJC2.j]
2009-08-30 cJC We removed the backfill covering f381 today. We removed the backfill using brushes, small wooden skewers and a tootbrush. We will rephotograph the human footprints and try and take more casts. [Input: T830CJC.j]
