Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-02 jW Natural accumulation under natural accumulation, f59, in locus k33. Although the color is similar between the two, the texture is not. This feature, f94, has a soft surface and changes into dust when picked with the big pick. Accumulaiton, f59 had a hard surface, filled with soft pockets, probably formed by the action of water on wind-blown soil. It broke into large chunks when picked. Many large roots of surface plants have penetrated both features. [Input: S802JW.j]
