Finally, we have tried to limit interpretations to that basic level needed to convey the appearance of buildings and the natures of deposits encountered. You are, in short, entering an intellectual hard hat zone where much is left unfinished and work is always ongoing, never finished. So, please be careful where you step, feel free to use what you find, and let us know what more you need to know about specific features and how the site might be improved. Burnt fragments of clay that had originally been applied over a woven stick framework, often as part of a wall. Tumbled architectural debris is always given a feature designation.
Foundations define the perimeter of platform superstructures and buildings raised on ground surface.
Operations are given a number designation. All work done at small settlements is carried out as part of a single operation, the numerical designation being the site's number. For example, all surface collections and excavations conducted at Site 441 were conducted as part of Op. A division of an operation keyed into investigations conducted within a specific portion of a site. Refers to a building encountered during excavation that was not detected on ground surface.
