| Description: | The soil color is light yellowish black. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey sand. | |
| Notes: | This context is overlaid by 883. It is a black soil, firm in compaction, and it clearly distinguished in the S section of the robbing trench 759. This fill seems to be quite similar to the context above it, 883. It was distinguished on the base of the color. 884 was distinguished by compaction from the context on its W side, infact 884 is harder than 885. We stopped digging this context when the boundaries between 884 and 885 became clearer and 884 appeared to be a pit. We restarted excavating 884 giving it a new context number, 887, but we think they may be equal. | |
