Notes on volumetric localization 2010-08-07 cJC This feature was intended to be 50cm in depth but instead is closer to 80cm in depth due to difficulties measuring. Despite the larger feature, the matrix is still uniform and the deposits can be considered part of the same feature. [Input: U807CJC.j]

Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2011-05-16 cJC The natural accumulations on top of the brickfall probably encompasses a period much longer than one strata as they are 50 cms in depth but they are representative of the time period when the Plaza was no longer used and so I have assigned these features to the period after the use and reuse of the Plaza area in J2.
