| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. | |
| Notes: | More compact than 131 Likely the same as 48 and 60 This context was opened to reveal more of the EW wall 44 and to help us understand the pits to the north and south. The compact yellowish soil looks similar to that found in other Roman robbing trenches in this room. We will leave a thin martyr on the context's eastern edge. The soil includes many cement inclusions from small to medium sizes. This context revealed more of wall 44 which appears to have one more full block before the late Roman wall (cut 16) and the east wall of Room C truncated it. The robbing trench is clearly cut into the soil of the martyr at el. 81.40 on the south. There is a second fill of the robbing trench at the top of the block into the bedrock cutting of the foundation trench on the south side of wall 44. It wil be context 133. | |
