3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Argument 2008-03-06 pC this surface is shaply sloping towards South and is possibly something similar to the escarpment found in J1f194 and J1f195 which lays at elevation (8715@top), instead f247 ia at 8800@top. A possible explanation is that there is a slope, on the other hand J1 is located at least 30m to the East [Input: S206PC.j]
Lack of expected information 2010-08-08 yM q log does not indicate the existance of a qlot for that feature probably there was no pottery found [Input: U808YM3.j]

Stratigraphic reasons of assignment 2005-09-14 mH Below f239 in depositional history [Input: S215PC.j]
2011-09-30 cJC The lowest excavated levels at the bottom of the revetment wall f128 are the two sloping accumulations f247 and f248. They are at approximately the same elevation as the base of the wall which is calculated at 8806 so they are presumed to be part of the initial construction. They are sloped to the south to direct water away from the base of the wall. Their relationship to the wall, f127 was not recorded although it is presumed they were built before the wall was constructed. [Input: V930CJC.j]
Other reasons, reservations, qualifications 2005-09-14 mH = f248 [Input: S215PC.j]
2011-05-16 cJC Sloping feature in k103, abutting the revetment wall. May be similar to first escarpment in J1. Ceramics dated to "Phase 1" using the JPA sequence, which is now considered EDIII. [Input: V516CJC.j]
2011-11-21 cJC Sloping accumulation, hard and gray, may possibly be the laid floor from the moment of construction of the revetment wall. [Input: VY21CJC.j]
