Stratum:   inclusions: pottery, iron, tile; clay makes up much of the fill - 40%
Description:   The soil color is light black. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty clay.
Notes:   We began excavating 811 in an attempt to bring the elevaton of the east part of the area down and to understand the relatonship of the fill here to the robbing trench and pier. 811 is a soft black fill with many clay inclusions and very few bones.
811 began to come down on a hard-packed yellow fill in its center. Thanasis also expanded the northern extent of the context to near the northern balk.
