Description (summary) 2005-08-02 aL We defined f137 the natural accumulation in k13; f137 is the cleaning of the top surface of k13 (10 cm) that was exposed throughout all winter and that was contaminated by modern trash. It has a very compact and hard surface and once dug it exposed some little areas characterized by sandy accumulation that we have interpreted as the consequence of the presence of puddle. The texture is crumble with pebbles and pottery. f137 is the same as f135 in k4 and f136 in k3. [Input: P802AL.j]

Notes on volumetric localization 2005-08-22 mH The starting elevation of the first feature of this season (MZ18-P) in k13 is 89.89 m, which is 10 cm higher than the starting elevation of the equivalent feature f138 in k101 right next to it. I am slightly suspicious of this starting elevation due to this difference, although it is possible that the surface was that uneven after being exposed through the winter. [Input: P822MH2.j]
