Description:   The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is loose. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   Context 6149 is an archaeological cleaning of detritus swept into pit 6115 from excavavation of contexts 6129 and 6145. The decision was made to recover as much of the debris from these contexts as possible since such a concentration of whiteware was found in both contexts.
The cleaning made the extent of wall 10111 very clear, as it extends through the length and below the extent of pit 6115.
