2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2006-08-19 vVE f549 consists of several large boulders that were part of f532 but that have since the time that the Germans excavated them moved from their original positions. The components of f549 are thus really a part of f532, but the designation f549 had to be created in order to relay the dislocated stones. On the basis of the comparison between the views v514 (f532 immediately after excavation) and v504 (f532 at the start of thsi season) I have made template t514. t514 is a tentative reconstruction of from where the stones were dislodged.

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2006-08-19 vVE Today we compared the current state of the western part of the second apron f532 with the state in which it was found by the German team from Tuebingen. v514 is a picture made by the German team after they finished excavating their trench BA. When we compare v514 with current state of preservation, e.g. v504, it becomes apparent that many stones have moved at least a little bit and that some have fallen down to the north of f532. f549 is the designation for some of these stones that have moved out of their original position. Eleven boulders, f549.1-f549.11, have been relayed in relays r1094-r1149. [Input: Q819VE1.j]

2012-08-26 jW A line of 12 large stones arrayed just to the north of the north edge of the second apron, f532. [Input: W826JW.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2012-08-26 jW Their physical position and proximity to the second apron is strong evidence that they were originally a part of both phases of its construction. Unfortunately all stones do not appear in a single photo, but view v501of the deteriorated B6 trench, view v514 of the cleaned B6 trench (extending from k2 to k107), and v516 of the north side of k107 provides adequate documentation of this assignment.
