2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2009-08-02 jW Floor accumulation above escarpment, f184. Its top is a hard crust, which seals the material below. It probably results from weathering of the original surface of the escarpment. Preliminary analysis by mKB of the pottery lot from this feature tentavely dates it to the Early Dynastic III period. This confirms the phase assignment of last season to f184, both here and in J1. [Input: T802JW.j]
