Context:   264
Date:   2014/05/13
Stratum:   20% of rounded, sub-rounded, and spherical coarse pebbles and cobbles; ceramics; bones; glass fragments
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is light brownish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   We started excavating to the east and south of drain capstones 232 in order to investigate its direction and its association with drain 164. The soil is light brown and its compaction is very soft. The removal of surface 264 revealed part of the continuation of the drain 232 to the SE, and to the west of our context a reddish type of soil, which probably shows that this part was burnt.
