2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-20 lC Compact floor found below the ashy accumulation f278. The surface of the floor is probably compacted naturally and it is formed by a gray ashy material with some sandy patches, likely created by wind and water. Some fragments of orange mud bricks are visible. On top of this surface there were some lenses of very fine ash. From these elements we can interpret this feature as the bottom of the ancient erosion or ED III cut. But we don't remove this feature during this season and just further excavation will clarify its nature. [Input: T831LC.j]
