2. IDENTIFICATION

Labeling

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on labeling 2009-08-19 cJC This feature when it first was excavated seemed very dissimilar to anything else we excavated in consistency and color but when we followed the hard salmon-colored floor (f359) across from east to west it appears to connect with f373. [Input: T819CJC2.j]

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-10 cJC Dramatic pinkish layer. Very soft and apparently contained to the southwest corner of k15. The matrix is very fine. [Input: T810CJC.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2009-08-10 cJC We have only exposed this layer but not removed it yet. [Input: T810CJC.j]
Argument 2009-08-19 cJC We now think that f373 is a damaged portion of the salmon-colored floor (f359). The heavy erosion in k15 could explain why the consistency of this portion of the floor seems so different. We did not remove this feature so this question could be further explored in subsequent excavations. [Input: T819CJC2.j]
