Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   This context is a martyr that was between the cut for the drain 89 and surface 121 in order to avoid contaminating the surface that appeared to be contemporary within the walls.\ we are removing it now so that we may excavate the cut on the west side of the cut for the drain. It is possible that it is related to the original construction of wall 38. We close once the level of the reddish compacted surface is reached. The martyr is the level into which the drain was cut.
