Notes on time sequencing 2006-05-08 jW The following was received from mH to describe this feature when it was previously excavated as J2f59 defined as a layer: "This layer is characterized by the presence of ash in the whold surface of the square. The top elevation is m3702 + 56 - 120, the bottom m3702 + 84 - 153. The layer is very thin (about 5 cm) and we removed it while scraping the surface. f59 is covered by f53 and covers f60."
