| Stratum: | modern pebbly concrete. Surface is grey with small rounded pebbles, well sorted. Below surface there are larger pebbles and pieces of tile and brick, poorly sorted. | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. Bottom slope of the context is slight. The soil color is dark greyish white. The soil compaction is stongly cemented. The soil is moderately sorted. It is mixed- see description. | |
| Notes: | Ave. L. of foundations = 1.27m Ave. W. of foundations = 0.58m Ave. depth of foundations = 0.36m There are 8 large concrete foundations, running roughly E-W in the N half of the excavation area. They serve as foundations for the iron posts of a modern chain-link fence that has served as the S fence of the main archaeological site (until dismantled by our excavations here). Immediately N of the fence is the area excavated by H. Robinson in 1961. There are two phases of modern concrete-founded fence that follow the same property line. This one, B16, is later than the other one, B17. This relationship is clear since several of the larger, later foundations are cemented onto and partially over the smaller, earlier ones. This is very clear in the cases of later foundations #1, 4, 6, and 7 (see plan for the designation of numbers to individual foundations). These two phases of modern fence preserve the same property boundary as the E-W wall, which they are cemented onto in several places. Note on Drawing (18 April 2008, A.B. & C.G.) - The plan for this basket is mislabelled. The concrete slabs that were removed as B16 are the 8 larger concrete slabs, not the 9 smaller ones marked on the drawing. | |
