Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-07-13 lR Accumulation in the western third of the locus, above emerging brick faces and possible floor This feature was assigned abandonment accumulation due to the eroded brick surfaces that are beginning to emerge. The matrix is more compact than the topsoil with fragments of bricky material present. [Input: S713LR.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-07-16 lR Removed 10cms from the northwest corner in order to understand f11. One assumption is that f11 could possibly be a stone wall or a modern burial with the stones used as markers for the grave however no pit cut was noted. Smaller stones were also found under the larger stones. One strategy is to continue excavating down to see if the stones continue. [Input: S716LR.j]
2008-07-17 lR continued to remove 5cms from this feature today and came down on more sherds laying flat. The area was cleaned and drawn by eE. The area to the east of the sherds was excavated further, 10cms. No difference in matrix was noted. [Input: S718LR.j]
2008-07-19 lR finished excavating this feature today as the soil underneath became softer and ashy. A new feature was assigned, f24 for the ashy accumulation. [Input: S719LR.j]
