Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark yellowish red. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy clay.
Notes:   364 is a dark yellowish red soft soil between 2 cuts found after removing 363. Notably this soil has no flecks of carbon and more boulders, c. 15x10x10cm.
A nearly complete pitcher is revealed at the W face of the cut so we begin to dry sieve.
The soil to the S, just next to B191 (2007 excav.) is harder at a much higher level than the rest of the deposit.
The pot sat on some tile and had bone next to it, perhaps to keep it upright. The elev. At the point where the pot was removed was 86.55.
At the bottom of the deposit a much harder surface with fewer inclusions is revealed that is reddish and runs under the Boney Ashy Layer (through which the apsidal structure cuts).
