Name:   Nezi Field, context 5212
Area:   Nezi Field

Title:   Floor patch
Category:   Deposit
Notebook:   1101
Context:   5212
Page:   0

Stratum:   10% rocks, small pottery sherds
Description:   Top slope of the context is uneven. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   We dug this context to understand the way the different floor levels in our area worked with each other. This context lay between the large pit in the center of our area (5169) and the stone deposit (5199/5200) to the south. As it had far fewer inclusions than the areas around and was harder we dug it seperately. The lack of finds, its shallow nature, and its position between floor layers indicates that it might have been a repair patch, the kind we see in other places in our area.
