Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is dark brownish yellow. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
Notes: | After removing 750 and exposing a redder layer under it through the West portion, it appeared that a darker, softer area remained under 750's eastern portion, along the scarp. This was removed as 751. 751 also appears to be very soft and full of roots, and therefore also likely related to the slump off of the scarp. 24 May 2012: 751 was overlaid by 750, technically. G. Sanders thinks it is the same as 836, but has been contaminated with Frankish sherds while sliding down into N of Nezi off the scarp. 22 May 2012: formation- slumped wash/fill? - RM | |
