| Stratum: | 20% inclusions, tile fragments, coarse and fine pebbles, pottery | |
| Description: | The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silt. | |
| Notes: | Harder packed than 861 above, fewer and smaller inclusions than 872 to the south. South limit follows same zig-zag line as defined by 868. A lighter soil here, with fewer visilble inclusions than the contexts to the south. Surface is very hard, breaks off in clumps that are hard to break by hand. Beneath this thick surface, much looser soil. Coin 597 - sieve; clipped At NE corner, between wall 11 and 59, we come down on a concentration of bones. Coin 600- sieve LN PJK 25/6: This context to the north of the room predates those taken off previously to the south (868, 872). The greater density of graves at the southern part of the room likely caused surface instability that necessitated repairs and new floors; the northern half of the room has fewer cuttings and would thus be more stable. | |
