2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-17 cJC Row of large pebbles in the bottom of f383, sitting in the hard layer f385. It cuts diagonally across the southeast corner of k100 roughly parallel to the cut of the pit (f382). The stones are in a nice row and it is unclear if they formed there naturally or were laid. When removed they were sitting in a very hard flat layer (f385). [Input: T819CJC.j]
