Stratum: | stones, ceramics, charcoal, iron, bone, coin, terracotta figurine of person with baby | |
Description: | Top slope of the context is slightly down to the S. The soil color is dark brownish black. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is moderately sorted. It is clayey silt. | |
Notes: | This is part of an area that was revealed in the excavation of 1103. It is bordered by two different contexts on each side, with different consistencies. The make up of this context is small to large-size pebbles and ceramics. The neighboring contexts have harder soils. Perhaps this is a cut through these? We are excavating this context because it appears to be the lastest in this area, overlying the contexts to the east and west. We came upon a slightly harder layer, this bringing the context to a close. In the context fill was some bone, pottery, a coin, and a terra cotta figurine holding a baby. | |
