| Description: | Top slope of the context is moderate down to the S. The soil color is light greyish yellow. The soil compaction is cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty clay. | |
| Notes: | The excavation of this context revealed three distinct underlying surfaces: a softer, reddish brown one that has been designated context 5513 (unexcavated as of 20.05.08), bordering wall 58 (heretofore known as context 5562) to the S and running for at least 3.0 m alongside the robbing trench for Wall 71; another context that appears to the W and probably overlies the reddish brown layer that contains cobbles (revealed in the 1960s by C.K. Williams) and a softer soil matrix; and a harder, light reddish brown soil directly to the N of Wall 6 (extent currently unknown). It seems increasingly lkely that we are dealing with multiple dumping events of fill, as well as a demolition/destruction event that includes Wall 5. G.S. has speculated that Wall 5 may have functioned as the foundation of a late wall, which would have used rubble as its foundations and topped it with a much more regular course of stones. This would explain the puzzle of the debris spill directly to the S and E of the wall. | |
