| Stratum: | 20% tile; 20% stone: 10% coarse pebbles, 10% cobbles; 10% pottery | |
| Description: | The soil color is dark brownish black. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is moderately sorted. It is silt. | |
| Notes: | -121 is siltier and looser than 119. -During excavation of debris deposit in soft, silty portion revealed under context 119, it became evident that we had a possible pit. This is filled with cobbles, tiles, and some larger pieces of pottery (including several large pithos sherds). Because it is likely a pit, we sieved the context. -Cut of pit: context 123 -At bottom of context two features were revealed: 1) Possible earlier floor surface, which seems to be similar elevation to earlier surface revealed in Room 5 to the E.; this is revealed in the SW corner of the context. 2) Stone built feature in the E. half of the context, backwards-L shaped. This is possibly a bin, hearth, or continuation of the drain revealed in Room 1 (approximately same orientation), and is at a lower level than the possible earlier floor surface. Further excavation needed to determine the nature of this structure. -Rest of bottom of pit is soft, rocky, reddish soil, likely not a surface level. Finds: glass, bone stylus (NA-54) NA-54: Bone Pin | |
