2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-20 pC A hard and very compact layer, non homogeneus in the surface with a reddish coloration. It starts on the west from wall f218 and slopes toward east and south. This feature was only exposed [Input: T820PC.J]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2009-08-20 pC f260 for its consistency, for the characteristics of the surface (compact, reddish) and the fact that abuts wall f218 and slopes south-east is probably equal to f164. [Input: T820PC.J]
2009-09-02 yM the red glacis abuts wall f218, that is why i assume that it might be the same as glacis f164 that is high in that part of J06. this glacis abuts the wall f218 only from the east and not from the north where it is overlaid by f242 that abuts the wall f218. this does not mean that f260 does not abut wall f218 under f242, that might have bin laid there in antiquity due to some kind of a damage in f260.
