k 100
dy Today was the last day of excavation for this season. We continued digging f150. After one pick run, at the elevation of m4502 +76 –171, we found a very compact and hard surface, sloping S. We decided to expose it all and to give a new feature number (f160). f160 is very compact and has a platy structure. After a pick run f160 is characterized by the presence of melted bricks, small fragments of chalcite, broken stones (10cm) and phytolits, due to a long period of exposure to water. At the distance of 20cm W from the E baulk of k100, it has been noticed a patch of ash (50cm in diameter). Today during a brief meeting with gB and the J4 staff, we decided to reduce the area of excavation to 100cmx100cm from r89, in order to reach the goal for this season, find the steps of the primary apron. After 50cm we stop digging while we did not found any stone.
