Description (summary) 2005-08-23 sC f217 has been assigned to the south-weastern area of k4 and to the north baulk of k5 (200 cm W and 200 cm S from r677). It is a bricky rubble, that give to the area a brown-reddish coloration. While excavating the soil disintegrated into particles of little dimensions (2-3cm) and the feature has medium-soft consistence. f217 abuts f218 (on the east): the boundary between them is marging, therefore is not easy to define. f217 is the same of f189 (above it), of f208 (on the eastern area of k14) and of f202 (in the eastern area of the E baulk).

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2005-08-23 sC It has been very difficult to define the boundary between f217 and f218: in fact, the two feature have the same texture (very fine), consistence (medium soft) and color (brown-reddish coloration); f217 is a bricky rubble while f218 is a bricky debris. Therefore, after having scraped very well the surface we tryed to find the area where the transition between the bricky rubble and the bricky debris was more evident and there we decided to take a relay, and from this relay we define the area belonging to each of the two features. We assigned f217 to the bricky rubble (on the eastern area of k4) and f218 to the bricky debris (on the weastern area of k4). [Input: P823SC.j]
