Stratum: | A very soft, very poorly sorted loose mixed sandy silt, the collected debris since the 1961 excavations. | |
Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the EThe soil color is mixed. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
Notes: | In order to clarify our steps forward, we are cleaning the 1961 trench along the S face of the N wall of the Room N of Room F, W. This area suffered from accumulation of debris since 1961 as well as erosion, probably, of the scarp and the higher layers of the Room N of Room F, W which we have already excavated. We were looking for more of the white floor layer, to see if the 1961 excavators revealed it and stopped. It is still not entirely clear if that is the case but it looks to me as if they dug through the floor to reach the wall. | |
