| Description: | The soil color is dark brownish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | We excavated here because there was a thick swatch of dark brown stratum bordering wall 5519, which appeared to fill a cut into the surface revealed by 6572. When we excavated the soft fill, we revealed the line of a foundation trench cut, defined by a thin line of softer, darker soil filling a cut into a harder surface (i.e., the foundation trench cuts a surface that is not yet entirely revealed). We looked for a continuation eastward, in front of the misisng threshold section; there, the line became more diffuse, but continued in an irregular, curving fashion into the foundations 6575. THAT line was visible after the excavation of 6562 as well- meaning it would have cut the surface 6572, which we already excavated. We're going to take the small, soft patch next, and then see if we can define the remainder of the foundation trench line. POST-EXCAVATION NOTE, 15-06-09, S.L.: Contexts 6663 and 6649, at least one of which underlies this context, were found to contain two joining coarse incised ware body fragments of the Frankish period, dating to the mid-13th century. These sherds will stratigraphically change the dates of every context that lies above them by as much as two centuries, of which this context is one. Until it is decided whether there is some other reason that this discrepancy might have occurred (e.g., these contexts need to be situated in a different place on the Harris Matrix), the dates will remain as they have been assigned on the basis of pottery/stratigraphy prior to discovering this discrepancy. | |
