Best definition 2008-08-10 cJC volumetric material [Input: S819CJC.j]
Summary 2010-08-07 cJC This feature is a baulk bordering the cement staircase. It was excavated as a volumetric feature and is not directly equivalent to any features although it covers the same depth as f15, f16, f19, and f42. It was an oblique cut and shaped like a triangle when viewed from the side. [Input: U807CJC.j]

2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-13 cJC Oblique west section of k5 bordering the cement staircase. This section was only 40cm thick and covered the area from m4845 and m4834. It was 135 cm deep when it was removed. [Input: S816CJC.j]
2010-08-07 cJC This feature was a baulk that bordered the cement staircase that was built in MZ20 by a team of workmen led by lC. The cement staircase was recorded as part of J2. This baulk was composed of natural accumulations and brickfall. A small border was still left next to the staircase (which was later removed in MZ22) to prevent erosion of the staircase. [Input: U807CJC.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Strategy (projected or implemented) 2010-08-07 cJC This baulk was cut back to create a straight viewing line from the southern end of J7 to the monumental staircase. It was removed quickly as a large volumetric unit with only one q-lot. It was a conscious decision to value time over accuracy as we already had stratigraphically excavated features in k4 and k5 bordering this baulk. [Input: U807CJC.j]
Harmonization 2010-08-07 cJC There are multiple elevations because this feature was cut to form an angle bordering the staircase. [Input: U807CJC.j]

Notes on contact association 2010-08-07 cJC Types of contact were not recorded for baulks as they were not excavated by feature but rather as large volumetric units. [Input: U807CJC.j]
