2. IDENTIFICATION

Labeling

Roster	Date	Author	Record
Notes on labeling	2009-08-03	cJC	In the west section of k110 we can see some slight differences in the layers that were not visible when picking and removing from above. This lead to f357 in k110 being very thick, we will try and follow the thinner layers in k5. For this reason we have assigned a new feature number to f363 instead of using f357, however, f363 is the same as the top portion of f357. [Input: T803CJC.j]

Designation

Roster	Date	Author	Record
Description (summary)	2009-08-03	cJC	Flaky with a plate-like structure. The soil is primarily brown with medium-fine particles. Some chunks come out, about 5cm in size, usually with a flat bottom. Each plate-like layer is about 5cm in thickness and can be separated with the trowel although occasionally it is very hard and needs to be picked. [Input: T803CJC.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Daily notes about recovery of elements	2009-08-05	cJC	Today we continued removing this feature. It was composed of many flakey layers and it was difficult to follow just one layer. The layers separate easily with the trowel. [Input: T805CJC.j]

Other reasons, reservations, qualifications	2009-09-18	mKB	the cups were made on a fast wheel from the hump and therefore resemble the later Phase 4j cups so probably the date is closer to the end of the Early Dynastic period. [Input: T920MKB.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications	2011-11-21	cJC	Similar in elevation to f330, f329 in same area. [Input: VY21CJC.j]
