| Stratum: | 10% small rounded pebbles, 5% compacted brown clay, rarer flecks of carbon, 2% tile fragments | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light brownish brown. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey sand. | |
| Notes: | Much looser, more silty and less bone and shell than 76. This context was begun which we realized the extent of the bedrock (AKA possible well head) 76. We are trying to find the extent of the block and are digging around it in order to remove it. A coin was found at 87.58. A complete stone mortar with 3 legs was found at 75.27. The soil is quite different than that in 76. It is siltiest goes through the sieve easily, it also has fewer inelusively overall. We are continuously to dig until we remove this block on the assumption that the soil and it is associated with it. The block was removed by digging beneath it and raising it by hand - it took five men. It likely weighs 60kg. It is definitely a piece of the well head and probably fit on the east side of the one in situ. It is made of a pale limestone and measures roughly 0.60m x 0.43 x 0.20m with a curve on one side. We will now change contexts. Tiles (pan and cover): 35 = 15.8 kg | |
