3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2008-08-02 jW As we exposed the top and west face of the revetment wall, f3 in the north baulk of k22 and into the southwestern quarter of k23, we noticed that the stones here are more organized and more carefully dressed than those directly to the south (which were excavated in previous seasons as a part of J1). To the south, the top stones are large boulders, laid atop a mud mortar base. As the wall approaches the stones of f37, two characteristics emerge: 1. There is a spur of well-dressed stones which emerge from the base of f3; 2. The stones of f3 themselves become better dressed and more carefully laid. As we excavate more extensively in k22 and k23, the situation and meaning should clarify. [Input: S802JW.j]
