Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2005-08-02 aL We defined f136 as a natural accumulation in a small portion of k3 (approximately 50 cm in the south part of the square); f136 is the cleaning of the top surface of k3 (10 cm) that was exposed during the winter and that was contaminated by modern trash. It has a very compact and hard surface at the top and underneath we exposed three steps alligned. The texture is crumble with pebbles and pottery. f136 is the same as f135 in k4 and f137 in k13.
