Definition 2004-07-08 ap layer [Input: O714AP.j]
Description (summary) 2004-07-08 ap layer in k93. It's composed by soil of reddish colour which stays between the steps and the eroded stones (and not covers them). The reddish seems to be the kind of bricky material which is typical of the palace and the temple plaza. [Input: O714AP.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Strategy (projected or implemented) 2008-01-31 pC following the lines of the stairs, was decided that the soil between the stones of the staircase is f47. The material between the stones has the same colour and the same consistency of that of f37 but since it is found between the stones was decided to separate the features. [Input: S131PC3.j]
Lack of expected information 2010-08-09 yM hardness was not recorded [Input: U809YM.j]
