Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-26 lH We continued excavating this test probe in order to collect more pottery sherds that might help at the chronological understanding of the staircase, f21. We removed the rest of the granular natural accumulation, f172, which covered powdery natural accumulation, f173. This probe is free of stones, and the sherds collected from it are so few. We covered this locus with plastic bag to protect it from the derts during the night. [Input: S826LH.j]
2008-08-27 lH We completed excavation and backfilled the locus. [Input: S827LH.j]
