| Stratum: | Inclusions 20%: unworked marble, ceramic (pottery and tile), bone, stones (small cobbles, coarse pebbles, medium pebbles). Soil dry to the touch, very dried out, breaks apart in clods; I believe this is why it cannot be molded. It was hard to decide bet | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the NW. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the NWThe soil color is dark pinkish brown. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | Originally a cleaning basket consisting of a pass over the area to delineate the deposits and figure out what is going on. Billy (the pickman) ended up following a soil deposit and determined that the area marked off as B60 was one deposit, so B60 not really a cleaning basket after all. A piece of pebble-pressed floor found (not in situ). B60 was on top of the clay surface to the W. Underneath B60 there is a softer deposit running down the center of the area that was once B60. Large stones are sitting in this deposit. | |
