Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2008-08-09 lR Assigned this feature to the accumulation underneath f60 which was completely removed this morning. This feature is harder, more compact, and lighter in color than f60 with fewer inclusions of bone and pottery. Several brick faces are surfacing in the north, next to f41 wall. [Input: S809LR.j]
2008-08-18 lR continued to remove 5 cm from f82 then scraped the ash f24 to expose f118 [Input: S818lR.j]
2008-08-23 lC After the removal of the east baulk of k13 and with the discovery of the wall f143, today we continued to remove f89 in k13 to clarify the wall f143 and the possible continuation of the stone pavement f93, also in k13. After the removing a portion of f89, we uncovered two red mud bricks in the south eastern corner of k13, possibly pertinent to the wall f97. [Input: S823LC.j]
