| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the NThe soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | Cut is linear with parallel sides. Break in slope: top = gradual Break in slope: base = gradual to not perceptible Base = tapered. This cut was defined after the removal of most of the plowzone deposit, B2. However, this cut for a modern plastic irrigation hose must have been cut through the B2 plowzone deposit even though it was not recognized during excavation. There are 2 reasons that I suggest this relationship: 1) the plastic irrigation hose was revealed and removed during the excavation of B2, so it would have had to have been laid into the deposit B2 from above B2. 2) the irrigation pipe trench runs N-S, but the furrows made by the plow that created the plowzone B2 run E-W; if the plow had been in operation AFTER the irrigation hose had been installed, the hose would have been cut by the plow. [Later note: more of this irrigation hose trench was dug in the southern extension of the excavation area with B31 (fill) and B32 (cut).] An identical irrigation hose trench runs on the same N-S orientation directly to the east of this cut. The eastern irrigation hose cut is B19. These two features are contemporary. Cuts into dark yellowish brown firm sandy silt with 20% inclusions, mainly small pebbles and tile frags. | |
