2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-10 cJC This locus is rectangular. Due to the cut of the previous excavations of the German team in area C2, now called J6k200 this square could not be completed as a normal 5m by 5m square. The western edge adheres to the normal site grid and from that line the square extends 3 meters to the east and the eastern edge is defined by markers m4893 and m4840. [Input: S811CJC.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-06 cJC Brickfall was uncovered at about 135 cm below the surface. iIM says that a layer of stones and sherds was found on top of the brickfall. [Input: S807CJC.j]
2008-08-20 cJC We changed the shape of k4 today to reduce its size. It will have a straight section in the west and will no longer have an eastern section. [Input: S820CJC.j]
2008-08-23 cJC In the morning we were going to remove all of the 1 meter eastern edge that we can cut down from inside k200. gB suggested that instead of removing it all we only remove down to the level just below the brickfall. Because this decision was made after work had already begun there is a large cut in the layer below the brickfall. No ash was found under the brickfall at the point which work stopped but there was a hard surface in small patches. gB proposed a diagaonal cut from the SE corner to the NW corner of k4 to minimize the amount of dirt to be removed and still have a good view of the staircase. This cut will also allow us to take a good photograph of the north section before it is removed. [Input: S823CJC.j]
2008-08-25 cJC Today we finished excavating in this square. The bottom level is flat at the end of the brickfall. The sections were cleaned and scored to be photographed tomorrow. [Input: S825CJC.j]
