| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. | |
| Notes: | Characteristics: less compact than 41 Well head substructure at el. 81.48 This is a cleaning context of the top of well VI, which several different contexts fell into. This includes the scraping of the sides of the well. This context is only the loose soil collected from the opening and only down until the original well interior. Already a handhold was found on the sides of the well, indicated by an indentation into the bedrock - 0.10 m height, 0.20 m width, 0.08 m deep. The well is bordered at the opening by a cut block on the eastern edge, and was opening when digging context 28. It was necessary to overdig slightly in the top most section, to avoid contamination from the contexts which fell into the well while it was found. The edge of a pan tile, as well as a piece of another pan tile was also found. The beginning of the well (context 41) is compact, browner, sandier, and very compact. Thus, contexts were changed. The bottom elevation (this level) is 80.83 m. | |
