| Summary | LR architecture and pottery appearing in bulldozed section |
| Topography | Pediment (slope) cut by Hht |
| Vegetation | Batha above (to W); plough soil below (to E) |
| Access | Adjacent to tarmac road on W side of Karkotis Valley |
| Description Environment | SIA overlies low-sloping (c. 6 degrees) E-facing Holocene (active) pediment apron along base of N-trending basalt hills/ridge of western valley wall. Sediment native to site is thing (< 25 cm) and composed of basalt and calcareous fragments of vein K3 + petrocalcic soil horizons in the pillow lavas. Local concentrations of 30-80 cm thick deposits of SCL to L textured soils (tilled) and deposits (section at TP119). In section, at TP119, there appear to be aligned stones and 'muddier' deposits below a 25-40 cm thick thin-bedded pebble to gravelly SL-LS deposit; and infilled channels (one is a rill, the other is a c. 0.8 x 3 m channel) with accretionery beds of pebbles and finer grained beds. Gully is located to S and is seasonally flowing. Water source is likely the Karkotis Valley c. 100 m away. |

| Description POSI | Section cut by bulldozer, c. 25 m long. On western edge of newly cut field, directly under northern group of beehives. Mujch of Western part of field is cut out of bedrock; only occasional sherds. Above (W of) terrace is fairly level terrace, then gully, then thin-soiled hillslope. Rubble wall (c. 2 courses high), with layer of melted mud brick above it, then 30-40 cm of slope wash. Lots of Roman pottery eroding out. 6 organic PUs collection from section: PU01-PU05 (strata 1-5) and PU06 (surface). Material includes lots of pottery, 1 chipped stone, 1 ground stone, 2 mortars. NB: this used to be TP119, but on 7/1/05 MJG created it as a separate POSI to distinguish it from the grid (which remains TP119) |
