Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-07-16 lR Excavated 15 cms down to see if any bricks or pit cuts were present using the small pick and trowel. In the northwest corner several gray bricks were found, it appears that they are broken. There bricks were left in place. [Input: S716LR.j]
2008-07-17 lR removed 10cms today with the matrix shifting from light gray and compact to softer dark gray with patches of black. In the western corner, harder compact material surfaced with pebble and sherd inclusions. It appears similar in compaction as f7 (the compact layer in all four loci) but with too many inclusions. A new feature was assigned, f22. [Input: S718LR.j]
