3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2010-09-18 lC This pavement, at the beginning thought to be a simple outdoor surface, is a really thick and compact pavement with many pebbles and sherds, layed on a sort of substructure made of hard clay with pottery inclusion. It overlays another beautiful sherds and pebbles pavement f165, and it shows how this open area has been used for a long period, or at least with a strong frequency. [Input: U918LC.j]
