Description:   The soil color is light brownish black. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey sand.
Notes:   Thanasis noticed, while digging 880, the this context goes under the clayel soil to the E, the context 883, currently under excavation. Its hard clayey soil contrasts the suft 880.
The E edge of this context is wall 540 and the N-E edge is the E part of Wall 747. When we found 2 coins from sieving, we decided to sieve all.
This fill came down on a black soil, firm in compaction, clearly visible in the S section of the robbing trench 759.
