| Stratum: | Inclusions 30%: roots, bone, pottery and tile, stones (small cobbles, coarse pebbles, medium pebbles; angular, sub-rounded). | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the S. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the SThe soil color is light yellowish grey. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty clay. | |
| Notes: | SW quadrant of clay surface first revealed under the tile scatter B51. Clay surface arbitrarily divided into four sections to allow for greater specificity in interpretation of water sieve data--maybe there will be different patterns in different areas of the surface. There are more roots in this quadrant because it is closer to disturbed areas, e.g. B80 and B93. A big thick root (ca. 4 cm in diameter) is sticking solidly out of deposit B108; probably from the modern tree pit (B21/B25). Some roof tiles were lying flat on the surface; these were kept. Ca. eight shovelfuls were sent to the wet sieve (about 1 bag-full); ca. 21 shovelfuls were sent to the dry sieve. Underneath B108 was revealed more of the darker clay surface first revealed under the ash deposit B97. At west extent there is under B108 more disturbance. The entire clay surface (B100=B102=B105=B106=B108) has a moderate slope to the south. Originally thought that perhaps B102 et al. were the sub-floor to the used floor surface represented by B99. But if some of the roof tiles were lying flat on B102 et al, how can they be sub-flooring? | |
