Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Procedures 2009-07-22 yM We defined this feature as a glacis while in fact the glacis a layer because it was a very hard compacted layer, hard to remove and 2 cm in thickness. The rest was an accumulation layer, soft crumbly and breaks in big pieces. Also this feature like all the features that we excavated this season in k83, gets thicker as sloping down towards the south forming a triangle in the section. The lack of pottery collected from this feature is surprising and doesn't correspond with its volume. The glacis layer is grayish brown while the accumulations layer is brown. [Input: T725YM.J]
