2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-04 jW A naturally compacted soil layer throughout k33. It has a dense, flat surface, formed of fine grains, which is almost free of any pottery sherds, stones or inclusions. It is at least equivalent to if not a continuation to the south of the compact accumulation, f70, found in k34. [Input: S804JW.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2008-08-09 jW A few days ago, gB noticed that the identical accumulation to the north, f70 in k34, had ripples on its surface. We found the same characteristics in this accumulation, f102, in k33. As we removed f102, we were finding stones, f126, along the eastern baulk of k33 that were at the same elevation and in the same alignment as the bottom step of staircase, f21. Accumulation f102 had the same surface texture as f70 and is probably a continuation of it to the south. [Input: S809JW.j]
