| Stratum: | The soil also had a reddish hue to it. 40% total inclusions: 10% pottery, 10% fine to coarse pebbles spherical to tabular, rounded to angular, 10% tile, 10% cobbles | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. | |
| Notes: | Once robbing trench 5511 was completely excavated this small area of yellowish brown soil to the west was distinguished. Some preliminary sweeping lead to the conclusion that this was a layer of fill over top of wall 5519. Therefore, we are cleaning the fill off to reveal the wall fully. What was revealed were several large field stones and two worked blocks (one of which was the west block revealed at the bottom of robbing trench 5511); these are part of wall 5519, robbed out by trench 5511. The surface of the revealed wall steps down from under wall 5485. | |
