Description (summary) 2006-08-29 pc This is a natural accomulation in k84. It is compact in surface that once removed turn to be very soft in consistence and very fine in texture. f72 it is characterized by the presence of a lot of bones, among which a dog skull (which comes out of the E section of the square). f72 is the same of f69, directly above. [Input: Q902SC.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on recovery 2006-09-03 sC While digging within k84, we assigned f72 to a compact accumulation which seemed to be spread in the whole locus; however, while digging f72 we noticed that, in the NE portion of the locus the soil matrix was rich in animal bones and, generally, in organic material. We did suppose, on the basis of the concentration of organic material found within the north-est portion of the locus, that it could have been part of the fill of a pit, but did not found, while digging in k84, any pit-cut; and for this reason, we did consider the feature in the whole locus to be f72, and just take a note in order to remember the amount of organic material noticed in the north-est portion of the locus. However, later, once scraping the top surfaces of the N and E baulk, we found the cut of a large pit, as clearly visible in v55, which we label as f85. By studying the material recovered within f72, it must thus be remembered that f72 includes part of the fill of pit f85. [Input: Q903SC2.j]
