2. IDENTIFICATION

Labeling

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on labeling 2009-08-20 cJC This feature was only recovered in the south section of k110 where we cut back the baulk. It still needs to be correlated with the features from the previous excavation but is possibly f315 [Input: T820CJC.j]

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-01 cJC Coarse material with reddish particles. [Input: T801CJC.j]
2009-08-04 cJC This layer is similar to the one immediately above it but it is harder and less sandy. It is still reddish in color. It is very coarse with larger particles. It feels rough in your hand. It includes some small pebbles. We only exposed this section when we cut back the south section of k110. [Input: T804CJC3.j]
