| Stratum: | Inclusions 40%: roots, stones (large cobbles, small cobbles, coarse pebbles, medium pebbles; angular, sub-rounded), pottery, tile, bone. | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the NW. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the NWThe soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | [Recorded in the field with Kris Lorenzo]. EXCAVATION NOTES: Soft loose deposit first revealed under B97, but also under B126, B122. Related to disturbance in the area? A thick root (ca. 4 cm diam.) sticks solidly out of deposit at the beginning of excavation (from tree pit B21/B25?). There are *a lot* of roots in the area enclosed by B127. We're not sure if this is an actual bothros or not--the darker color distinguishing B127 from its surroundings is disappearing, leaving the deposit rather shallow for a bothros (unless a lower level of fill is a different color). B127 has been extended east a lot further than we initially thought it would run. B127 cuts the rest of the soil under the clay floors. We decided it's not a bothros, but just a lens of soft soil. More soil has been revealed below that is browner in color. | |
