Definition 2005-08-22 sC accumulation D [Input: P822SC.j]
Description (summary) 2005-08-20 vVE f203 underlies f201 and consists of a medium soft light red clay. This seems to be a layer of molten brick debris. Some larger pieces of brick are also visible, but no traces of a complete wall. [Input: P820VVE1.j]
2005-08-22 sC f203 is a natural accumulation in the eastern half of k23. As f201 (above it) f203 is hard and compact in consistence, and it has a fine texture, but, differs from f201 in color (and for this reason we assigned another feature number to accumulation): f203 in fact has a reddish coloration due to the presence of brick debris. [Input: P822SC.j]
