Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on recovery 2008-08-04 jW This feature was originally described as a natural accumulation below natural accumulation, f82, which covered the stones of f99 and of f41. Once f83 was exposed, it was clear that it was actually the living accumulation above the glacis, f74, to installation, f41. The pottery will be analyzed specially to help identify the phase of the glacis and wall system. [Input: S804JW.j]
