| Notes: | This basket is a continuation of basket 85. The new basket was begun after an arbitrary stop following the uncovering of several large cobbles/small boulders. Slight color change--slightly darker, more moist--but likely due to the basket 85 soil having been exposed to the sun and becoming sun-baked. IN the first pass we found several ~.5-1cm size pieces of charcoal. Removed the boulder and the cobble in the NW corner once they were determined to be isolated stones. A few small chunks of mudbrick were noticed in this basket but were not saved. Also have a number of additional pieces of charcoal. A bronze coin was found in the zembil and therefore out of context. Although the easting and northing were not available, we were able to get an elevation (90.54) based upon the level pass that was excavated. A painted sherd depicting a standing figure was found and sent to the museum. At the end of this basket, photographs were taken by Sarah James, see photographs on pages 153 and 155 (JPG-2007-165, BW-2007-11-03, JPG-2007-166, BW-2007-11-04). All soil from basket 86 was dry-sieved. Small finds included a piece of chert, several shells and several small bones. | |
