Summary 2009-09-01 cJC Large brickfall composed of red and gray bricks, seen clearly in section that covers the western part of k15. It is part of the same brickfall as f338. The bricks at the bottom are larger and more clearly articulate and appear more degraded towards the top of f341. This feature was originally excavated as a volumetric feature but it was composed entirely of brickfall. [Input: T901CJC.j]
