Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light brownish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. | |
Notes: | characteristics: less tile than 112 This context was begun because a layer of dense pottery and tile was reached. Water continues to flow into the bottom and we are bailing it out in buckets. A piece of cut limestone came out at about 72.19. It measures ___ x___ x ___ m. There is significantly more pottery including transport amphora sherds. There is a strange white sticky substance in the soil and sticks to some of the sherds. We kept a sample for analysis. A piece of blue plastic alseo came from the water sieve. Clearly, we have some modern intrusive materials from side tunnels. After 30 cm we are still in the same level but are changing contexts arbitrarily. Tiles: burnt: 12 = 1.1kg; unburnt: 22 = 6.0kg | |
