| Stratum: | Two different soils in this context - other was a dark reddish brown clayey soil. 30% inclusions, tiles, ceramics, cobbles, coarse pebbles. Angular, tabular. | |
| Description: | The soil color is light greenish white. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. | |
| Notes: | Red clayey soil, continues to W, but stopping at an arbitrary line at the robbing trench. 8:30- continuing into robbing trench. Mixing white clayey soil with reddish clayey soil. Red clayey soil about 3 cm below whitish in robbing trench (LN: redish soil was not clayey). White clayey level continues under N wall (Wall 700). Can be seen in section on other side of wall, under it. Robbing trench - whitish clay continues into Room 8, on W side of robbing trench. To E - started with reddish clay. But whitish clay in robbing trench. Soils mixed in this context - should have been separated into two contexts. "Bottom" of robbing trench - weathered, trampeled since 1990s. Clayey surface continues "under" robbing trench (LN - next level down not clayey soil as thought. Robbing trench may be cut deeper), but ends at east edge of robbing trench. Whitish clayey level continues in scarp on N side of Wall 830. Robbing trench cut continues lower (maybe). Robbing trench dug in the 1990s. LN: Because robbing trench was exposed since the 90s, we decided to consider the entire context a cleaning. Unfortunately some material from the eastern part of the context (outside of the robbing trench) will be lost to this cleaning since it should have been dug separately. 24/06/2015 Larkin Kennedy, Rossana Valente Animal bones: bovid, sheep/goat (0.15 kg) all thrown. | |
