Stratum:   40% small pebbles to cobble sized irregular subrounded tabular pink and grey limestone , 10% rounded small pebbles
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. The soil color is light reddish grey. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This context was opened in order to remove the martyr from the bedrock surface exposed at the end of context 87.
The top of this context found a level surface with 87. It was kept as a martyr of 87 because it is along the robbing trench. We wanted to prevent contamination with it and 87. The martyr is the same soil and slopes down sharply flollowing the bedrock on the E end. There is a significant amount of carbon in the soil. On the E sidde what appeared from the scarp to be a deeper area of soil has turned out to be a semicircular cut in the bedrock filled with soil. It is in line with the small one in the center and one a thte edge of the martyr.
