| Stratum: | 60% inclusions: large boulders, subangular and subrounded; ceramics, bone | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light greyish yellow. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | This context was identified as cutting into a layer of fill that appears to be the same as excavated fill 5667. It faces the previously excavated bothros in the SW corner of the S E-W wall and Wall 5724. It was filled with large and medium boulders, ceramics, bone, and cobbles. The soil was loose. We may picture this pit as originally having been round, but later being truncated by the large, reinforced corner of the Turkish house. Large slabs of Jurassic limestone cover smaller boulders, regular coursed, making turns toward the S and W. This explains the existence of preextant excavation here as well. The corner was dug, they hit the Jurassic limestone wall stone, and then they stopped. Since we do not have an idea of the uppermost surface that the wall cuts, it is difficult to know, with confidence, which feature predates the other. Moreover, we suspect that the pit cut containing fill 5754 occurs into the fill preserved to its NW- fill 5768 (=5667). But we cannot be authoritatively certain that this is the case. It seems most likely that because the wall is Ottoman, and the pit appears to cut Frankish levels, that the wall postdates the pit cut. | |
