| Description: | The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is well sorted. It is clayey silt. | |
| Notes: | Context 6271 is a floor patch located south of staircase in southern part of courtyard of Byzantine house. Context 6271 covering several other contexts in this room and necessary to remove it first at this point. Characterized by very hard soil matrix with many stone inclusions, but likely not a cobble floor. Pebbles are crumbly and not the rounded type typical for floors. Soil is dark yellowish brown clayey silt with ca. 40% inclusions. Removal of context 6271 revealed a deposit with a cut and another compact earth surface. Deposit with cut is 6275 and 6272 respectively. High traffic area of this part of the house would make it likely that many floor patches of different character will be encountered. | |
