This context follows the western boundary of the recently excavated E. wall of Shop VI. This deposit fills C181 and runs up to the eastern cornerstone of wall 44. The soil sits in varying levels of compactness, with looser and darker soil on the southern end. This soil looks similar to the soil in the other FTs. It also looks similar to the deposit 150 in the pit directly to the east. The context has revealed bedrock. The last excavation of this context will remove a much more compact soil (<10 cm long) from the northern end of the context. 24 buckets (approximately 330L) of soil were collected from this context. | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware. cup.
