2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-09-03 lC Fill inside the bin f71 in the southern part of k4. This fill is constituted of bricky material with some softer lens and it was quite disturbed from animal holes. It is brown in color, very compact and containing phytoliths. This fill is very similar to the accumulation outside the bin, f69 constituted of hard bricky material. Only few sherds have been uncovered in this fill. We stopped at one arbitrary point. [Input: S903LC.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-05 lR In the south, f71 was defined, excavating north and south of the bricks. No more bricks were found with the material north of the bricks showing a grayish soil while to the south; f79 was brown, containing phytoliths. Since the soil between these two areas was so different, we created f79 as a new feature to separate between the soils, possibly fill within a bin. [Input: S805LR2.j]
