| Stratum: | 60%- small boulders, large cobbles, tile, ceramic sherds, glass | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is level down to the NE. The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. | |
| Notes: | This context is the removal of wall 1069, which is the outer curvilinear wall just to the east of the western scarp of the excavation area. This fill contained large cobbles, some boulders and tile, but in smaller concentration that the fill of wall 1068, the inner curvilinear wall. We excavated this very thin deposit in order to understand the function and dating of the structure and the related wall, as well as the Late Roman levels in the area south of the Turkish house. The context was fairly small and we stopped excavating after all of the wall stones--arranged in a single course-- and the fill between them was removed. Both walls appear to have been resting on the same soil, which will be removed as 1073. | |
