Definition 2006-08-20 sC accumulation D [Input: Q820SC2.j]
Description (summary) 2006-08-20 sC f7 is a natural accumulation in the SE corner in k71 (40 cm W and 120 N to m4254), located directly below f4 in k71. f7 is the same of f4, but we decided to change the feature number in order to avoid contamination while collecting the pottery. It consists of compact areas mixed with patches of soft ones, has a very fine texture and it is characterized by the presence of rooths. f7 is grayish in colour (the colour changes from light yellowish brown and yellowish brown). While digging this feature, small irregular stones have been noticed and only few pottery sherds have been collected. f7 presents the same characteristics of f8 in k72 and f9 in k73.
