Stratum:   70% tabular sub-rounded medium pebbles large fragments up to 20cm present. Scarce presence of animal bones
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light brownish yellow. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is silt.
Notes:   13.17: Excavation of this context started from its south edge and towards north wall. The soil resembles in its inclusions and material that of 849.
11/06/2015:
07.38: Work resumed in the context. The second pass over the area, also from south to north, is revealing the same types and proportions of materials. Layer revealed below is also characterised by its compaction, but, at least on surface, there are no visible traces of the large fragments of tile found in 849.
08.40: Context is closed. The final checking of materials shows the very low proportion of bones as opposed to shards.
