Definition 0000-00-00 sc floor, type b [Input: P829SC.j]
Description (summary) 0000-00-00 sc f240 (gv105, gv105a) is an accumulation individuated firstly in the NE corner of k103 (it extends 160W and 140S from r713) and then, in almost the whole k103. It is characterized by very fine texture and a compact consistente and by the presence of several ash lenses. It is intruded by f250 and f251 (i.e. two animal holes). It is reddish-brown in color. In the SW corner of the square f240 is overlayed by f245; here have been noticed some laminations that give to the feature a white grayish coloration. [Input: P829SC.j]

Phase (to which element belongs) 2011-11-11 !! h3nJ2B [Input: VY11CJC.j]
Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2005-09-14 mH Below f245, which dated to Phase h1JPA with pottery [Input: S215PC.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2011-05-16 cJC mKB dates sherds to Phase 1 (Ninevite 5 and ED in JPB sequence). Based on pottery and stratigraphy this layer can be placed in the EDIII period. Abuts the base of the wall, probably dates to just after the construction phase. [Input: V516CJC.j]
2011-11-21 cJC Accumulation after the first construction, does not quite cover f248 and f247. see v107 [Input: VY21CJC.j]
