Description:   The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   Context 6487 consists of a cleaning of the martyr around well-head 5876 in the room northwest of the courtyard in the Byz. House. All soil from this context was dry sieved due to the fact that this martyr extends vertically around the well-head through eight contexts (from top: 6125, 6128, 6133, 6134, 6135, 6137, and 6145 which is the context that yielded ~ 17-18kg (3300 sherds) of white-ware pottery). Well-head 5876 was photographed after cleaning and dismantled
