Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2005-09-06 mH very thin and fragile plaster layer. Very difficult to excavate [hence we didn't expose much of it but left it for the next season]. Seen first in profile of k100 and associated with one stone of staircase. Gray layer right on top of it/mixed with it. [Input: S307PC.j]
2008-02-25 pC Plaster floor, associated both with the apron f131 and with the high steps of f130. [Input: S211PC2.j]

Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2005-09-14 mH Plaster floor, associated both with the apron and with the steps (the high step). Its association with the steps suggests that this floor level could date to the 3rd millennium. Perhaps this is the highest 3rd millennium floor we have. [Input: S215PC.j]
2008-03-05 pC lower than elevation of a floor in J6f184, which date to h35MZA [Input: S305PC.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2011-05-16 cJC Plaster floor, similar to f370. Also at the same elevations as other EDIII floors. [Input: V516CJC.j]
2011-11-21 cJC Should be assigned to same as f329 [Input: VY21CJC.j]
