Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-07-31 jW A band of natural accumulation in the north baulk of k22, under laminations of f78. It is bounded by the west baulk of k22 and the west face of revetment wall, f3. The boundary between f78 and f80 was distinct, both in color and in texture, chaging from softer sandy laminations to densely packed dust. [Input: S731JW.j]
2008-08-03 jW There was a marked transition into and out of this feature. Atop was a soft lamination of silt, pebbles, and sand, f78. Below was a soft lamination of silt, pebbles, and sand, f81. However, this accumulation was hard, laminated silt. It covered the top of one large stone. [Input: S803JW.j]
