Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-11 yM this feature was assigned for the floor surface type b located in front of the obelisks f177 and f100 and to the layer that covers all of k84. it is a compacted layer that contained many flat sherds and small pebbles that where concentrated mostly in the western part of this feature. the soil is very fine and soft and has a noticeable amount of inclusions in it and some seeds. this feature is one of many floor surfaces that we expect to find in this square jugging from the eastern section of the locus.

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2009-08-10 pC f271 is a series of thin floor layers with sherds lying flat alterned by thin layers of accumulations. This is due to the intense use of this area. This floor was found only in front of the obelisks f177 and f100 and to the east in the southern half of the square: [Input: T810PC.J]
2009-08-10 pC the absence of floor f271 in the eastern portion of the square can be due to f280: f280 slopes toward south and probably was not a space used to walk; another reason is that water flowing from the north, following the slope of the escarpments (f164), did not permit the conservation of floors. [Input: T810PC.J]
2009-08-10 pC probably f271 is the same as f184: it has the same elevation and characteristics [Input: U125PC.J]
