3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2012-12-16 jW By comparing elevations, color, and approximate location, accumulation f252 is almost certainly equal to accumulation f264, both of which cover reddish accumulations, f262 and f268 respectively. In turn, f268 covers ranks of the stone escarpment, f188 and f225, which is covered by the soil escarpment, f241 and f242. [Input: WZ17JW.j]
Substantive contradictions 2012-12-16 jW This accumulation was described as a soft reddish accumulation, but the measured color was yellowish brown. It was described as covering f241, a component of the soil and sherd second escarpment, but both have approximately the same elevations. [Input: WZ17JW.j]
