Date: | 2015/06/03 | |
Stratum: | Big inclusions, including boulders (max 34cm x 22cm). Bones, ceramics, tiles, cobbles. Sub-rounded and angular, one roughly hewn stone. Some clayey spots coming up. | |
Description: | The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is moderately sorted. It is silty sand. | |
Notes: | Boulders - irregular, unworked, though some with flatish faces. This layer was cut by foundation trench of N wall (Wall 700/166). Rocks doon't seem to be lying on a surface. Stones in a line from N to S - two stones with measurements. But S one came out easily, not on a surface. LN: Title - 826 does not actually abut N wall. At level of foundation trench, so most likely earlier. Below boulders, at S - rubbly layer of tiles. Appears to extend under surface 829 to E. 11:55 - taking out tiles, bones in NW corner. Strip of compacted earth left to the W, probably same surface as big surface to E. [LN: AMS 25/6/15 - probably not]. Coin 468 - from sieve Some larger-sized bones. Reaching a layer of uneven broken tiles, stones. New layer nearly level with bottom of foundation trench of N wall. Coins 469 - 472 - all from sieve. 24/06/2015 Larkin Kennedy, Rossana Valente Animal bones: bovid, sheep/goat, other sea sheels (1.12 kg) all thrown. | |
