Lot:   Lot 2009-059
Stratum:   10-15% inclusions; pottery, pebbles, rocks (avg. 0.10-0.20m in size)
Description:   The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   6169 is characterized by less stones, and more pottery inclusions than 6187. The soil is also more compact than 6187.
We are excavating fill 6169. It may be a fill from a robbing trench [6227] which truncated wall 6027 [and much earlier floors 6064 and 6068?], so it is therefore of a later date. The fill is composed of soil and pottery fragments; it is definitely different than structure 6187 above it.
