2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-13 cJC Gray layer with an uneven surface. The matrix is soft and fine although the surface is hard. It separates easily like a flake from the accumulation underneath. This feature is thin in the northern portion of k110 and easily damaged by the pick, while in the southern portion it is thicker and separates easily from the other features. [Input: T815CJC.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2009-08-13 cJC We relayed the northern edge of this feature. It extends from the relayed line all the way to the south of k110 covering the whole square. [Input: T815CJC.j]
Procedures 2009-08-13 cJC This feature was only excavated using only the pick and brush. [Input: T815CJC.j]
Notes on recovery 2009-08-13 cJC When first exposing this feature we thought that it had a subsurface of ashy material but instead we came to understand that was a separate feature that we now call f379. Therefore, q-lots associated with f377 may include some material from f379. [Input: T815CJC.j]
