Description (summary) 2005-08-24 sC f229 has assigned to the accumulation extending in k13 (but does not extend to the NE corner of k13 where f227 is located (a layer of pottery sherds). The soil is very fine in texture (clayish), soft in consistence and is light gray in colour. f229 is the same of f183, above it (f183 is the same of f171 in k13), and of f228 in k101; f229 abuts f227 and overlays f231 (k103). The top 5-10 cm of this feature are contaminated by the excavation occurred in this area in the previous days. [Input: P824SC.j]
