Stratum: | 5% small rounded pebbles, 2% small carbon pieces, 5% bone and shell, rare boulders, a few chunks of yellow clay as above. | |
Description: | Top slope of the context is even. The soil color is light brownish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey sand. | |
Notes: | Characteristics: Similar to 62 but more bone and shell This was begun arbitrarily after no change in soil, but after digging 62 to ca. 25 cm in depth. At the top of this context, a conical loomweight was found, which makes three from this approximate depth. An interesting metal 'medallion' came out. At a depth of 76.78 we reached a layer of many stones and changed contexts afrer removing some soil around them. NB: this was one of the more pottery-rich contexts in the well so far. Tiles (Pan and cover): 2 = 1.1 kg | |
