| Stratum: | 10% inclusions: large tile, small angular cobbles, pottery, small rounded pebbles | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty clay. | |
| Notes: | We excavated this context moving northward from the previous one because we have been unable to find an edge for the soil boundary that we expect to find near the E limits of Wall 6. The excavation of the previous context demonstrated that we did not yet have a robbing trench visible in the soil matrix, but we did perceive an edge oriented N-S with the line of the truncation of Wall 6-- could the line indicate a robbing trench for a N-S wall that ran // to wall 5473 as we know it? If we find a continuous edge, it would suggest that this is the case. As the context stood when we had finished excavating, we had no solid defined edge to the N of Wall 6. We stopped when we reached a harder soil, still red, with some flat-lying tiles just to the E of the visible E boundary. This may be the same as the soil revealed by 5586 and 5589 to the N; if elevation, color, and consistency are enough to draw that conclusion. Still uncertain how to interpret this stratum as anything other than dumped fill. But above the reddish layer mentioned, a finer, softer light greenish brown soil appeared surrounded. This is softer, appears to overlie, and will be taken as the next context, number 5703. | |
