Description (summary) 2006-08-29 pC This is a natural accumulation under f60 in k72. It is crumby and compact in consistence, and fine in texture. It is characterized by the presence lot of pebbles (< 10cm), pottery sherds, small stones (< 1cm) and phytolits. When picked it assumes a reddish color, especially in the NW corner of the square. At the bottom elevation of q132 f63 has a platy structure, very compact in consistence, which is probably due to the presence of the phytolits. The S area of the unit, instead, is characterized by a light brown colour, it is very fine in texture (a bit clayish) and compact soil is mixed with patches of soft ones. [Input: Q827PC.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Evolution 2010-03-01 sC By looking at the new data from the excavtions carried out in 2009, we can now say that f63 is in its lower portion a brick melt accumulation, (as visible in t100), and is probably part of the dump^1, a brick-melt accumulation found throughout the whole J06 unit which spread in the S portion of J04 area as well. [Input: U301SC.j]
2010-03-01 sC This feature is a brick-melted accumulation, probably part of the dump^1 [Input: U301SC.j]
Notes on recovery 2010-03-15 sC This is a very compact accumulation, with several pottery sherds lying orizontally, which indicate that it could possibly have been a walking surface; however, there are no evidence of active use of the area within this time period. [Input: U315SC.j]
