Locus: B7K90:002 Supervisor: H. Dates
Locus type: Earth
Designation: Rocky tumble in and below topsoil
Start date: 28 Jun, 1984
End date: 18 Jul, 1984
Rationale
Reason: Visible rock tumble through topsoil
Top separation: Very Clear / Bottom separation: Average

Interpretation:
Function: Rrock tumble & earth between tumbled stones; Function is inadequate concept for heavy tumble; broken, disturbed surfaces, architecture below
Stratigraphy remarks: Underlies L 1 throughout square; somewhat arbitrary distinctions for bottom where tumble & upper courses of Walls 3, 4 are mixed
Locus Date:

Top Plan: 1
