Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2006-08-19 vVE Feature f566 is a medium hard, naturally compacted floor consisting of slightly reddish, very light brown clay. Some of the dislodged boulders were lying on top of f566. [Input: Q819VE1.j]
2006-08-26 vVE Feature, f566, is a series of hard, naturally compacted walking surfaces that lie under deposit f565. See v540. [Input: Q826VE.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2006-08-19 vVE We removed the natural accumulation f557 and found a naturally compacted floor f566. This floor covers some of the stones of f532 and continues into the South section of k2. [Input: Q819VE1.j]
2006-08-27 vVE f566 was removed today. Underneath, where the revetment wall should be there appeared a new naturally compacted floor which is the continuation in this area of f534. Immediately north of this there had appeared more large boulders and the deposit underneath f566 there was soft, crumbly, reddish dark brown clay containing many very small pebbles and a little bit of calcite: this seems to be washed down baqaya. More large boulders appeared while removing f566 and it is not quite clear yet whether these belong to the second apron f532 or to the top of the revetment wall f569. [Input: Q827VE.j]

Notes on time sequencing 2006-09-04 vVE The compacted surfaces of f566 overlie f534 (s12a) and cover part of the base of f532. This use of the second apron f532 and the start of accumulations against it and therefore should be assigned to s11b or s11c. [Input: Q904VVE.j]
