| Aside from taking the west section down to bedrock, the
other main goal of this season is to resample Level 8 on the south
section (shown here). This level rests on the bedrock and sealed
at the top by an extensive layer of roof fall. The photo
shows the thin lenses of burned materials that characterize this
level. We would learn more about the extent and character of these
burn features this year. You can watch a portion of this level
being excavated on our time lapse
camera. |
