Context:   125
Date:   2015/05/26
Lot:   Lot 2015-086
Stratum:   40% pottery, 10% cobbles, some small tile fragments
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light brownish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   characteristics: same as 123
The well is getting narrow as we go sown and there are no side tunnels. A coin was found at 9.60m / 71.89. There is less pottery than before. There is none of the sticky white stuff that was in context 123. We seem to be in a different level. We stop this context arbitrarily and begin 129 at ca. 10m below the cut for the side channels.
Tile: 2.9kg & 41 fragments
