Figure 29

Home Up Authors Report for 1999 References Notes


Fig. 29: Two profiles showing the integration of the wall remains B2 in the surrounding sediment deposits. The profile labeled B1.S1 (right) is identical to the one from Fig. 10 (structure B1).
Keys: 1. Silt, yellow, heterogeneous: disturbed accumulation (actual terracing work); 2. Grass surface with roots; 3. Organic humus, silty, brown, homogeneous, fine rootlets: naturally grown deposit; 4. Silt, yellow, strongly hardened, with inclusions of sparsely distributed gravel, charcoal and orange oxidized spots: partly resulting of human activities;
4a. Stone wall with overlying layer of silt, clayey, yellow-orange, with inclusions of ashes; 4b. Thicker layer of silt, clayey, yellow-grayish, with inclusions of fragmented charcoal and ashes. Overlying layer of silt with ashes, gray; 5. Stone layer (pavement ?), at same level as summit of slab roof covering B1; 6. Silt, brown-yellow, hardened: probably accumulated during building of B1, thus with anthropogene character; 7. Silt, yellow-gray, with inclusions of orange oxidized spots; 8. Silt, clayey, yellow.
