Description (summary) 2001-07-01 okk large pit [Input: L916okk3.j]
2001-09-01 jlw a large pit with cut, f310, and ashy fill, f131, that was dug into the accumulation that overlies the large stone plaza found in A13, A15, and A16, and whose higher portions were expanded horizontally to provide building materials for later houses. It appears that the pit was dug to the level of the top of palace wall f228 collapse. [Input: L901jlw2.j]
Notes on description 2023-12-12 jw The supervisor's individual notes on pits a8, a11, f132 and their components including f130 and f131 are very confusing. In addition the photography is not particularly helpful. In the opinion of the editor, the best interpretation of the situation is that there were a series of pits dug in the same location at various times. A late occupation pit a8, was cut into the fill, f131 of a larger pit, a11. The cut of a11 was designated as f132 and at its bottom, it cut the formal flagstone courtyard, f216. No feature was assigned to the fill of pit a8. [Input: ZHz12jW.j]
