3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2008-08-18 dL This feature sits in the E zone of k14 and has a triangular shape, delimited at SW by f123 (row of stones that goes NW to SE), at NW by f108 (row of stones that goes W to E, continuation of f14) and by the eastern baulk at E. All the feature is full or red material, that concentrates under the zone that was surrounded by f119. The red soil doesn't seem to go under, over or around the stones of f123. This material is composed of thin red and brown powder, small pebbles and gypsum inclusions. The feature is not a complete layer of red soil, instead it's full of red spots scattered in a pale brown context, as if it was a kind of brick pavement; not all the spots are at the same elevation.
