The soil color is dark greenish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | This context is made up of soft dark earth that seems to fill the cut made for the well's construction trench. It is a thin layer of soil surrounding the clay packing of the well. We noticed the cut at the closing of 6632 and 6629. We only excavated the fill for a little over half of the well's circumfirance, as the western portion lies under the stairwell and the northern portion was disturbed by the northern scarp. Excavation of the fill was rather uneven because it was difficult to exract the dirt with such a small area between the well-packing and the cut. The soil was soft and dark, but in many places chunks of the yellow clay from the well-packing had mixed with and disintegrated into the darker soil of the fill. | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware. ww slip painted (700-1120), pitcher. 1 rim. ; Fineware. ww incised (700-1120), plate. 1 rim. ; Coarseware. amphora. 2 rims. | | Pottery Summary: | | 2 frag(s) 0.01 kg.
