| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. The soil color is reddish brown. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey silt. | |
| Notes: | Context 725 is another layer of fill. It has a similar color to 724, but is slightly softer and has flecks of charcoal which were absent from 724. After removing the southern half of 725, Kostas believed that the foundation trench cut stopped in the middle of 725. After a second pass, a thick patch of charcoal has appeared at the southern part of 725 which forms a line abutting the foundation trench. So it appears now that the cut for the foundation trench continues through this material we are currently digging and does not stop as we had thought. A small amount of material from this context may be contaminated by fill from the foundation trench because Kostas dug a thin pass in the foundation trench before relaizing that the cut continues (which the line of charcoal makes clear). Kostas thinks that this context continues to go down, but we are going to close it in order to dig in the foundation trench first. 01/06/2015 (Larkin Kennedy, Rossana Valente) Animal bones: sheep/goat, bird, 0.76 kg, all thrown. | |
