Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2009-08-12 jW At the end of the day, we excavated below a large stone and found a group of smaller stones, which may or may not be the foundation for f41. f259 should be the earliest accumulation against it and if it contains sufficient sherds, we may be able to approximately date the time of construction. hQ made a rapid examination of the pottery and noticed that it contained some sherds from Phase 3.
