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: same as 63 but with a few boulders This context was begun after we reached a layer of large irregular rocks at the bottom of 63. It includes cleaning of the soil around them to facilitate their removal. There are several large pieces of amphora were found - perhaps the same as the toe in 63. The soil is nearly identical to 63, so it may be the same context. The 'rocks' turned out to be nothing, therefore confirming the notion that we are still in the samel level of fill as in 63. We are changing contexts arbitrarily to 68. A coin was found in the sieve as well. We found a few pieces of unburnt wood, these were sent to the museum. Tiles (pan and cover): 6 = 3.7 kg
