| Stratum: | Mainly medium to large angular pebbles, also some cobbles and one boulder, some tiles (some very large), carbon flecks, pieces of cement. Total inclusions 35%. | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | We continue our excavation of the corridor between walls 5334 and 5341 by focusing on a layer in the W revealed by the cleaning, at a higher elevation than the rest of the corridor and distinguished by large cobbles and tiles. In the E of the context, we uncovered a stone perhaps in situe and also in situ a large red-pink stone. The rest of the area revealed is a more reddish soil than above with fewer inclusions but still soft. | |
