| Area: | Temple E, Southeast | |
| Title: | Fill inside Cut Across Corridor | |
| Category: | Deposit | |
| Notebook: | 1108 | |
| Context: | 398 | |
| Date: | 2014/05/25 | |
| Stratum: | 70-80% inclusions (rough cobbles, tabular and platy cobbles, roof tile) | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | As we moved E removing a layer of trampled fill in the corridor (Context 389), we encountered a rough transition into a much softer and more inclusion rich matrix. We closed 389 and opened this context, 398. The deposit is coming up as a loosely compacted fill: it looks right now as if it fills a cut in the hard packed surface exposed below 389 and . Further excavation has revealed that this fill (Context 398) is cut by 403. We have finished excavating 398, coming down on a harder surface below, and are now closing the context. | |
