| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. Bottom slope of the context is level down to the The soil color is dark brownish white. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey silt. | |
| Notes: | B 206 is the removal of a layer of cobbles just east of the N-S wall which curves into them (forming an apse?) This layer seems to sit above the cut of a bothros. We are removing these cobbles from this wall to dig the bothros. It keeps raining making excavation and recording very difficult right now. We seem to have found the cut of the bothros below these cobbles. The wall and large stones above the cobbles were most likely robbed out at some point. Finds: bone, pottery Post excavation notes: After completing the final week of excavation, we realized that we excavated a number of baskets out of order. B 206 turned out to be part of the apse of the wall. All the baskets excavating the wall and its foundation and cuts should have been excavated before we dug the material in the interior of the building (B 204, 208, and 209). We did not realize this at the time but now understand that what we thought was a pit was the interior of the apse. | |
