Summary 2010-08-07 cJC This feature is the large northern baulk of k4. It is 1m by 3.5 meters thick and it is 3 meters deep. It was excavated as one volumetric feature and therefore is mixed natural accumulations and brickfall. [Input: U807CJC.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Strategy (projected or implemented) 2010-08-07 cJC As it was one of the last features excavated during the season it had to be removed quickly and was thus taken down all as one piece rather than in smaller features. This resulted in a mixing of brickfall and natural accumulations but as we had the stratified deposits from k4 and k5 we did not think it was necessary to excavate the baulk in small sections. [Input: U807CJC.j]
Problems in recording 2010-08-07 cJC At the end of MZ21 the records for this feature were lost. They have been reconstructed here from complimentary records such as q-logs, dailys and relays. [Input: U807CJC.j]
