3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2009-08-19 cJC This feature is probably the same as f374 in k15 and as f369 in k4 and k5 but we do not have a direct connection due to the presence of the baulk in east k15 and in east k4. Also, we have not excavated these features this year but have only partially exposed them. All three features (f369, f374 and f378) are sloping gray layers with laminations. Additionally, where they are not eroded they appear to be overlaid with the same sequence of features (a red layer f379, f348) and then the salmon-colored floor f359. [Input: T819CJC2.j]
2009-08-19 cJC This may be the same as f369 in k4 but we have not removed the baulk in east k4 to see if they connect. It appears to possibly be the same feature as f381 in k110 but as we did not remove either feature it is difficult to tell. There are no impressions in f378. [Input: T819CJC2.j]
