Definition 2006-08-27 pc accumulation D [Input: Q827PC.j]
Description (summary) 2006-08-27 pc This is a natural accumulation under f14 in k72. It is characterized by the presence of phytolits, and presents a lamination structure, due to the deposition of sediment in presence of water. When removed, it is crumbly and soft in consistence, fine in texture and a bit dusty. Once picked it is light brown in color, but once it dries, it is graysh in color. This feature is also characterized by the presence of few pebbles (< 5cm) and a lot of pottery sherds. f54 is the same of f14 (directly above) and of f55 in k73. [Input: Q827PC.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Evolution 2010-03-26 sC f54 is partially a brick-melted accumulation, and as such, its lower portion is probably part of the 'dump^1', a brick-melt accumulation, that interested the south portion of J04 unit in the Late Mittani Period; the lower portion of f54 could belong to Phase 67-MZA (s12a).
