Category:		Deposit
Notebook:		1111
Context:		205
Date:		2016/07/18
Stratum:		Abundant pottery, animal bone, plant roots, limestone cobbles platy angular, large pebbles spherical sub-rounded to rounded, about 40% inclusions
Description:		Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. The soil color is dark brownish grey. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:		This L shaped context was an ashy grey mixed fill. After removing context 201, it was shown that 205 extended from wall 198 to the north to about what was the next context (we later decided to cut 205 at its southern section so it was 208 that abuts wall 198). Like the overlaying contexts, 205 contained lots of pottery and some animal bones. It also hand an ashy soil content and was softer than overlaying contexts. There was one significant find of a glass goblet. Ash+ bones possibly indicates kitchen debris. The south west portion of the context appears to be a rubble pile with boulder to large cobble sized lime stone. This fill could be associated with wall 198 running parallel to the context.
