Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-23 cJC Small volumetric feature in k5. This feature borders the staircase and is about 50 cm wide. It was cut to a slope to match the staircase. Very little pottery was recovered. [Input: S823CJC.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Strategy (projected or implemented) 2010-08-07 cJC This feature was part of the shaping and construction of the cement staircase. Once k5 was excavated there was a large portion of dirt still standing and it had to be cut down to match the slope of the staircase. It was not a stratigraphically important area but q-lots were kept. [Input: U807CJC.j]
Lack of expected information 2010-08-07 cJC No elevations were taken for this feature. It is unclear if they were forgotten or if they were thought unnecessary for simple cleaning operations. [Input: U807CJC.j]
