Stratum: | 40% inclusions angular and subrounded spherical fine to coarse pebbles angular spherical cobbles | |
Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. | |
Notes: | Context 5211 was taken because it was darker reddish brown and had many more inclusions than the surrounding area, which had a pinker hue. This may have exposed an E-W cutting at c. 1020.50 N. We stop taking soil because cobble inclusions end. The soil continues to be softer but with less inclusions. While cleaning up a minimus coin was found just S of context 5211 on the surface. It is unclear with which context this is associated, 5211 or the soil to the S. Revised Interpretations The E-W cutting is at 1022.50N not 1020.50N. | |
