Introduction

The accumulations and other accretions of OH2 were primarily the result of wind, water and other natural processes. The upper-most layers were disturbed by modern plowing but probably represent a natural accumulation and leveling of the area due to use as farmland both in antiquity and in modern times.

Accumulations

The upper layers were disturbed by plowing ( ^plow) but represent a process of accumulation in the area as the ancient levels were covered over by deposits and the dirt was moved around due to plowing processes.
Other accumulations such as the laminations (^lam) were created by processes involving water which accumulated in the area and laid down thin deposits.
