2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2008-08-09 lR Ashy accumulation found in the middle of the locus, running south to north. This ash appears to be the same accumulation as f22 in k2 that spreads east into k3. At some point bricks were added, f68 (f29) over the ash south of the tannur f42 to perhaps contain the ash to the west. f36 likely is under f68, and at the moment we have excavated f31 and f35 finding the ash f36 under these features continuing east. [Input: S811LR6.j]

3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-07-23 lR The ash is visible to the west of pavement f35 and unclear if the ash goes below the pavement or abuts it. Another pavement was found today, connecting the cobblestones found yesterday in f36 eastern corner to the western side of k3 and associating f42 tannur, and i11 to a surface sitting on the ash. [Input: S723LR.j]
2008-08-07 lR This ash appears to abut f35 pavement in the north section of A18. We started to excavate the ash in the area north of the tannur f42 and proceeded south. [Input: S809LR.j]
