Definition 2006-08-20 sC accumulation D [Input: Q820SC2.j]
Description (summary) 2006-08-20 sC f13, located directly below f9, is a natural accumulation in k73 that covers the whole unit. It is characterized by a mixture of very hard surfaces alternated with soft patches, probably due to the exposure to water. f13 is rich in little pebbles and phytolyts. f13 is the same of f9, the accumulation above it (we changed feature number in order to keep better track while collecting the pottery).
