Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-26 lH After we removed soft powdery accumulation, f170, which covered about three big limestone, we tried to collect more pottery sherds from the soil among the stones, f177. The collected pottery from the soft podery accumulation, f177, wasn`t enough, so we extended the borders of this test probe towards the east about 50 cm in order to collect more pottery sherds that might help at the chronological understanding of what we presume the second millennium revetment wall, f3, in k22 and k23. After we removed the soft powdery naturall accumulation, f179, of the extention of this locus, we found another big limestones which we couldn`t remove any of them. We covered this locus with plastic bag at the end of our excavation day to protect it from the derts during the night. [Input: S826LH.j]
2008-08-27 lH We completed excavation this test probe above the western corner of the revetment wall, f3, in k22. Then we backfilled the locus. [Input: S827LH.j]
