Arbitrary

Start Date:

Function:
Arbitrary locus, to remove the material between the N balk & where the bedrock begins to dip downward; prob a late fill, at least in its upper levels where it may contain some of tumble L 4
Stratigraphy remarks:
The top of L 28 is at approx the same level as Surf 6, but that surface did not extend to this W part of the square; ashy material (25) may be below the upper levels of 28; Surf 6 may have been destroyed or cut through in this area

Remarks:
Started, but time did not allow its completion; arbitrary in that the bottom of L 4 was not clearly defined; was contaminated with late material from L 4 tumble; on the same level as Surf 6, but the surface did not extend this far W
