| Notebook: | 1111 | |
| Context: | 39 | |
| Date: | 2016/06/02 | |
| Stratum: | 25% stones: 15% sub-rounded tabular and spherical medium pebbles, 5% sub-rounded spherical coarse pebbles; 10% tile; 5% sub-rounded spherical cobbles; 3% roots | |
| Description: | The soil color is dark brownish black. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty clay. | |
| Notes: | - 39 has more inclusions than 37 and is slighlty lighter and more reddish; 39 is slightly darker than 33 (less dry) and slightly more reddish with some chunks of more reddish earth. - Mixed earth ecavated: mostly dark brownish black but with some chunks of more reddish clay mixed throughout matrix with small amount of plaster chunks. - Likely fill; largely same consistency as 33 but with more cobbles and tiles (may be getting closer to destruction level). No discernable soil change after first pass, so second pass taken with big pick - Large amount of roots; iron artifact revealed during second pass - After excavation of context 39 we are now at or slightly below elevation of preserved floor surface in room 2 to the N.; the floor surface may therefore not be preserved in this room at the same level as the possible floor surface in room 2. - As excavation continued downwards it became apparent that there may be a floor level below this layer of fill - During second pass top course of possible N. face of wall 34 exposed, although more excavation willl be necessary to determine the extent of this face and if it continues along entire N. stretch of wall 34. - After excavation, it becomes apparent that strip in N. wall of room 39 is more reddish and the middle section is more whitish. Both seem to be harder than context 39, but do not seem to be floor surfaces. These will be dug as two separate contexts. - Reddish strip will be excavated second because it seems harder and may be sitting on floor level. - Excavation on context 39 revealed bottom of wall 34 Small finds: iron artifact, glass, bone 2016/06/07 -Bones: 14; 0.16 kg NA-53: Iron Key | |
