Definition 2001-07-22 jl accumulation [Input: L822JL.j]
Description (summary) 2001-07-22 jl This feature was very dirty, with sherds, large bones, pieces of tannur, clay lumps, and medium-sized rocks. It included the very thick bone layer. [Input: L822JL.j]
2001-08-25 jl This ^a, underneath f368, seems to finally be stratified again. There is no more trace of plastic or other foreign material. It is dirty, in that it contains a lot of pottery, pieces of charcoal, kiln waste, broken bricks, large bones, and stones. It looks suspiciously like refuse, although there is not as much ash as one would expect. [Input: L825JL.j]
Notes on description 2002-09-09 ms Upon discovery of a plastic bag and some styrofoam in this feature, gb has decided to make the outer 30 cms of any layer within the circle into a separate q-lot, to avoid contamination of the inner, presumably stratified material. [Input: M909JL.j]

Daily notes about recovery of elements 2001-07-24 jl This feature continues to confuse me. Parts of it seems to lie on top of f371, others on top of f372. In the north-west, we have detected a ring of gravel-like material, possibly the lowest level of the fissure observed so far. The soil continues to maintain its fill-like quality, including more large bones, ash, and possibly even pieces of unburnt wood included among the ash. [Input: L822JL.j]

Deposition

Roster Date Author Record
Evidence 2001-08-13 jl This feature is below the lowest depth of excavation last season, even the f351 trench. There was also no plastic found within it, unlike the higher layer, f378 (except for the plastic bag found within the fissure; however, it is almost certain that this was washed into the fissure from above, especially considering that that section of the fissure was without dirt fill at the end of last season). [Input: L913JL.j]
Assumption 2001-08-13 jl I believe that we have reached the beginning of stratified accumulation again. [Input: L913JL.j]
