Notebook:   1101
Context:   5319
Page:   0
Date:   2008/04/22
Stratum:   40% inclusions: angular, tabular cobbles; bone
Description:   Top slope of the context is uneven. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   We left this baulk up against the walls instead of excavating 5313 all the way in order to see if there was a cut for the foundation trench for the E-W partition wall and not to contaminate 5317 with material from a potential robbing trench. After excavation, it became clear that ther wasn't a clear cut all the way, possibly tread on less, or loosened by roots.
Roof tiles 42n=6.4kg
Boundaries: clear due to 5319 having being softer and have more inclusions than the layer below it.
