Corinth Basket: Nezi Field, context 872 | Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Basket | | Name: | | Nezi Field, context 872 | | Area: | | Nezi Field | | Title: | | Hard Black Layer in NE of Area | | Category: | | Deposit | | Notebook: | | 1106 | | Context: | | 872 | | Page: | | 0 | | Date: | | 2012/06/01 | | Stratum: | | rocks, plaster, iron forming some red spots | | Description: | | The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. | | Notes: | | This context of hard black soil is awkwardly shaped, cut to the W by 844 and to the S by the cut for pier 573. To the SW, a narrow strip between 573 and 844 borders an apparently red layer of the scarp between 844 and the robbing trench for wall 747. The context is likely a levelling fill. The hard compaction is probably due to exposure to the elements over the past few weeks. | | Context Pottery: | | Cooking ware. stewpot. 1 bodysherd.
