| Description: | The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is sandy clay. | |
| Notes: | This context is a futher clean of the red fill S the plaster pit, as 892. It cleaning was useful to understand the boundaries between the hard-packed reddish soil, underneath 895, where the plaster pit seems to be cut, and the cemented soil (894). After excavating this fill, we found the W boundaries of the hard-packed reddish soil and the well 742 seems to be constructed in this fill. S well 742 this context came on few tiles, still in situ, but it is not clear their purspose at this stage of the excavation. | |
