Recovery/Assignment

Daily notes about recovery of elements 2002-09-03 lR Today we started to scrape the area and removed approx 3-5 cm of dirt using a small pick. This small square belonged to A10 and was left unexcavated since it was not understood at the time. This area is in poor condition since it has been left unexcavated and exposed to the elements for a number of years. [Input: M903LR.j]
2002-09-07 MISSING This locus was not excavated today but was scraped thoroughly then brushed to expose a clean surface in which to decide a strategy for tomorrow. The north section of this area is A10 North section and since it has not been excavated since 1999 the section is heavily weathered. The section once cleaned revealed a large dark gray ash pit underneath Khabur structures. The ashy pit goes all the way down until it stops and the soil becomes an orange brown approx 50 cm from the level that the locus is at. The surface of these loci shows traces of dark gray ash in layers, which may be a continuation of the A10 pit and mixed with the orange brown soil. [Input: M907LR.j]
Strategy (projected or implemented) 2002-09-07 MISSING Tomorrow we will scrape the south section of this small locus to see what it includes. The sun prohibited us from distinguishing the layers and will do this early in the morning. [Input: M907LR.j]
