Recovery/Assignment

Daily notes about recovery of elements 2006-08-13 vVE Feature f516 is a vertical wedge of naturally deposited soil under the top soil of f515 in locus k2. It extends vertically downward to the stopping point of previous excavations in the German trench B6. [Input: Q813VE.j]
2006-08-13 vVE When the Western section of the German trench in B6 had been cleaned no distinct features, layers became visible. Therefore we will excavate this column of deposits until it is at the same elevation as the bottom of trench B6. [Input: Q813VE.j]

Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2007-07-31 mO under top soil [Input: R731MO1.j]
2012-08-26 jW Layer of natural accumulation directly below topsoil f515. [Input: W826JW.j]
Notes on time sequencing 2006-09-04 vVE f517 is the same deposit as f558 and must have accumulated here when the second apron had already been covered by many deposits. f513 and f558 are the deposits right under the top soil and slope down from the top of the temple terrace. It also seems to be basically the same layer as f537 and has therefore been assigned to s7, just like f522 and f516. [Input: Q904VVE.j]
