Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2024-01-30 jw This aggregate was identified as a kiln by the excavator. However its shape and form are atypical. The installation is not dug into the surrounding soil. Rather the containment is formed by a crude wall, f121, seemingly built from sherds and soil as seen in view v73c. The bottom is quite smooth and concave, resembling a basin. There are conflicting statements as to whether there was burned soil or kiln waste. I conclude that the actual function is not known and must be generized as industrial at this point in time. [Input: ZI130jW.j]
Substantive contradictions 2024-01-30 jw Contra the lack of a template to document location, templates t73, and t73c are now available. [Input: ZI130jW.j]
