2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-31 lC Layer very compact constituted of a gray clay. It is a quite irregular plan sloping toward south, and initially we thought it was part of the pavement f80. Now it seems that the pavement f80 is set out on a very soft ash layer that is on top of this compact clay layer. To the north, just next to the pavement f80 it is built with numerous small pebbles and sherds (about 2-4 cm) embedded in the clay. Toward south is sloping down quite sharply, but its southern edge has not been excavated yet. The layer seems to be about 3-4 cm thick, just on top of a softer layer, constituted probably of ashy soil. [Input: S831LC2.j]
