Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2009-07-27 jW noticed a few animal bones as we dug lower toward the level of floor J1f313. However, the soil in f204 was soft, brown, and sandy. The bones were about 24 cm above the north edge of the J1 floor. The floor surface we are seeking is hard and gray, so we conclude that we did not dig into it. [Input: T727JW.j]
Accidentals 2009-07-27 jW In the process of removing excavated soil adjacent to J1f313, our shovelmen damaged several animal bones there, even though they were covered with plastic. Somewhat fortunately J1 had already photographed the floor with the bones in situ. [Input: T727JW.j]
