Stratum:   Filling in Cistern 2006-01. Reddish brown sandy silt with ca. 10% inclusions (tiles, large pebbles).
Notes:   We are continuing to take the reddish dumped fill inside the "basin". A strip of mortar over small cobbles is emerging in the NE corner along the N wall, leading down from the eastern chute/entrance. It is mostly filling, but occasionally a cobble is pulled out of the loose fill. There was a large chunk of decated iron mixed with earth. We are sieving.
We noticed a very Roman-looking sherd, and deep air pockets keep emergin along the N side. It seems the Roman sherd could be contamination falling from much higher. We are concentrating now on the loose fill in the N area. There are many stones below and it is firmer to the S. A small group of stones along the S wall looks like the next thing to remove, since it rests on the firmer fill to the south (although it may instead have been set in at the level of the stone console, ca. 90,80, with some rubble below by chance embedded in the B79 fill.
