Stratum:   10% angular subrounded cobbles, 30% fine angular subrounded pebbles
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. The soil color is light brownish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   This context was opened to remove the south part of the martyr - the same level as contexts 167 and 168. It was given its own context number because it is not part of cut 65 of the robbing trench, instead, it overlays the bedrock in the SE quadrant.
Excavation started from the south end in order to find the difference in soil which might delineate the cut for RT 65.
The eastern extent of the cut made into the bedrock was uncovred. This was likely the cut when the putative FT along the east wall of shop C was made. We will cloe this and brin a new context for the possible FT.
