3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Strategy (projected or implemented) 2009-08-04 cJC These stones were relayed together as a group by pC and sH but each stone was assigned a component number. pC sketched the location of the stones. [Input: T804CJC3.j]
Argument 2009-08-04 cJC The stones seem to form a base to the wall f334, overlayed with some soil with the larger stones of f334 sitting on top. It was not defined as a wall because it is only one row of stones, with no height. [Input: T804CJC3.j]
Lack of expected information 2009-08-04 cJC No photos were taken of this feature. [Input: T804CJC3.j]
