2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-07-21 lH Highly compact floor underneath, f34. It`s full of limestone nodules which mixed with a large amount of pottery sherds, pebbles and reddish gray soil. We noticed that this new floor dosen`t continue toward the stones of f37, because there is a soft powdery accumulation (seems like a fill), f43 between the stones and the fill. The floor, f39, seemed similar to baqaya feature in J03, but the fact that it was lighter in color and full of sherds, stones and nodules, made gB assume that it was the last version of the Plaza.
