Context:   812
Date:   2015/06/02
Stratum:   30% inclusions - cobbles, ceramics, bone, charcoal, glass, tile, plaster/mortar (white)
Description:   The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   As we go deeper in 812, larger pieces of white mortar/plaster are unearthed. Large pieces of bone.
LN: AMS, 21/6/15 - 812 could possibly be a continuation of 829 - a thin layer of levelling dirt overlying preexisting rubble of 814 and 820. It was slightly higher than 829, but only a few centimeters. It may thus represent a deposit between level surfaces 792 and 829.
