Unit 8262

Category: layer    dug in 2001

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: thick packing layer 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: abuts/ lapping up againt 8254 (that packing left on eastern side of black stripes, I guess not at same level as the rest of 8254). Found a nice curve of basin towards east. No doubt, basins heavily warn, and upper layer was packing and preparation for make-up, just as 8199. Came down to white plaster floor, worn nicely, blends in with 8281 (Tish's unit), but towards the cut, in order to level the plaster with ridges at the meeting point of 8282 and 8281 they put some packing, nice.
