Area:   Temple E, Southeast
Title:   fill in grave 2015-09
Category:   Deposit
Notebook:   1109
Context:   795
Date:   2015/05/20
Stratum:   inclusions: 10-15% pottery, bone, tile, coarse pebbles, cobbles (angular, tabular), small boulders (subrounded, spherical)
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark greenish brown. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   Once we had defined both sides of the cut for grave 2015-09 by removing context 794, we decided to change baskets. Context 795 is material we are sure is in the grave cut. The matrix is not appreciably different than context 794. END 2015/05/20
