| Stratum: | 40% pebbles to cobbles (round, angular, tabular), tile, pottery, bone, iron, little carbonized organic remains, few boulders, carbon chunks, some roots | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is uneven. The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silt. | |
| Notes: | 790 stretches northeast of wall 313, and to the east of pit 788; also it layes under 778 and 780. 25 May 2012: 785, 786, 787, 789, and 790 are a series of small fills in the SW corner of the trench, either slightly overlaid by one another or abutting/laid against each other. The pottery dates for all of them are Middle Byzantine (10th-11th npd for 789, 11th npd for the rest) and, as individual contexts, they do not seem to be stratigraphically significant. After group discussion, we are equating all of these contexts within the Harris matrix. 790 is the only context in the series which we have been able to relate clearly to 778 and 780. It was a low ridge which divided 778 from 780 in the southern extent of both contexts. Because the southern extent of 790, in turn, was overlaid by 785/786/787/789, it forms the stratigraphic connection between that series, 778, and 780. 790 was also laid on 799, allowing us to connect the southwest corner series with the fill immediately west of pit C848. - RM 22 May 2012: formation-stone collapse from 313 - RM/JM | |
