Page:   0
Date:   2009/04/01
Stratum:   15% subrounded small, medium and large pebbles..
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is moderately sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   Excavation of 5928, a leveling patch composed of large pieces of flat-lying pottery in a dark yellowish-brown soil matrix revealed more of a well-constructed pebble/cement floor already partially visible in the northern section. In the southern section of the excavated area, 5928 came down on this context, a more firmly-packed, darker layer with less pottery (5929). 5929 appears to also be a leveling patch on the pebble/cement patch that predates 5929.
