| Stratum: | 15% stones: 10% sub-rounded spherical medium pebbles; 5 sub-rounded spherical coarse pebbles; 5% pottery; 3% tiles | |
| Description: | The soil color is dark brownish black. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey silt. | |
| Notes: | -Context 19 is much softer and darker black in color than context 15 borderig to E; more poorly sorted -Context 19 borders robbing trench to the W. Context may be fill from foundation trench of wall 20, or may be fill from later cut to extract robbed stones from wall, as wall was robbed out to W. of context -More inclined to consider this fill from robbig trench, as the harder surface (poss. floor) exposed after context 15 excavated did not continue over this context to the area formerly occupied by the wall 20 -Level underneath context is darker/blacker in color and softer in S. half, more reddish in the center, and slightly elevated from ground level of robbed-out wall to the W. -Level underneath context in center is also slightly elevated from ground level of robbed-out wall to the W. and is more reddish and harder than revealed ground to the S. Pass approx. 15 cm in depth -As pass taken northwards, earth underneath increasingly harder and more reddish, and pass becomes shallower as exposed reddish layer underneath slopes upwards to height of 59.082 m; where this slopes upwards coincides with the existing courses of wall 20 to the W. and is approx. at the same elevation as wall. Therefore we can safely assume that context 19 was in fact a robbing trench fill whereas the exposed harder, more reddish earth to the N. may be original fill of wall foundation. 3/6/16 Bones: 9, 0.08 kg | |
