2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2000-07-05 jl pit? A white layer, in almost a complete half circle, pressed up against the face of the fissure. It looks like a very shallow pit, since a significant while lip/rim has been preserved, at least in parts. The white material appears to be a phytolith layer, and samples were taken for our bioarchaeologist. [Input: K705JL.j]

Deposition

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on deposition 2000-07-05 jl The discovery of this pit raises some important questions about the deposition of a22. We were operating under the assumption that k27 had subsided and was therefore later than k26, but if so, where is the other half of the pit? It is unlikely that they would have dug through so clear a layer of white material last season, so it might be the case that k26 is the more recent accumulation. But if k26 cut away the rest of the pit and leaned against k27, what exactly did it lean against, i.e. what created the fissure? Once again, we come back to the same puzzling question, except now even more confused than before. [Input: K705JL.j]
