3. STRATIGRAPHY

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Daily notes about recovery of elements 2009-08-16 cJC Today we reexcavated k100 and removed all the backfill revealing what remains of f304. [Input: T816CJC.j]
Argument 2011-01-05 cJC Once k100 was excavated in 2009 it became apparent that the triangular deposition of a softer soil in the SE corner of k100 was not part of the original depositional sequence linked to the pavements but instead was the fill of pit. It appears that f304 is part of this pit fill. [Input: T816CJC.j]
Procedures 2009-08-16 cJC It was unclear if we had the same feature this year as was described in the UGR as f304 so we assigned it a new feature number f383 but it is now apparent they are the same. For the rest of this season we will refer to this accumulation by its new number f383 [Input: T816CJC.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]

2011-11-21 cJC Although this feature was originally identfied by the excavators in 2005 as part of the pebble floor deposits it was clear in 2009 that it was the fill of the pit in the SE corner of k100, therefore it is assigned to the stratum associated with this cut. [Input: VY21CJC.j]
