2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster	Date	Author	Record
Description (summary)	2009-08-10	cJC	This feature was first identified in the west section of k5 where it appeared as a thin yellowish white line. Once we removed the feature above it (f365) we were able to explore the idea that this may be a plaster floor similar to f370 in k5 (although at a slightly higher elevation). When we began exposing it we found it appears mostly gray from above with small white and yellow nodules. [Input: T810CJC.j]
Description (summary)	2009-08-11	cJC	This feature when totally exposed appears mostly as a gray flaky layer with white inclusions. It is unclear if it was completely covered in plaster or if the white is just a kind of inclusion. [Input: T811CJC.j]

Daily notes about recovery of elements	2009-08-10	cJC	We began exposing this feature using the small pick and the brush. Tomorrow we hope to expose it completely, photograph it and remove it. [Input: T810CJC.j]
Daily notes about recovery of elements	2009-08-11	cJC	We exposed this feature, relayed it and photographed it. We also removed it today. [Input: T811CJC.j]

Ceramic typological distribution	!!	!!	frequencies of ceramic vessels and sherds included within feature
Notes on contact association	2009-08-11	cJC	Because we only identified this feature in section and did not see it while we were excavating f365 it is both covered by f365 and also overlays f365. I have decided to say that it sits in f365 but I want to clarify that it is a distinct layer, clearly visible both in section and when we came down on top of it in k15 (although not in k5).
