Description (summary) 2004-07-08 ap we defined this feature a collapse for the nature of the soil. The feature is localized in the northern part of k93. It is composed by reddish bricky material, clearly different for colour and compaction from the material of f47. Scraping the surface we noticed the presence of pieces of whitish plaster of which we took some specimens (q107.1). [Input: O714AP.j]
