| Stratum: | poorly sorted, loosley compacted sandy silt, dark reddish brown with 70% inclusions (sub-rounded fine through coarse pebbles, platy angular cobbles, tile, ceramics) | |
| Description: | The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | We are excavating a balk to the N of foundation 5552 left by the 1960s excavation. We are attempting to establish the chronological relationship of this balk to the balks on the S side of foundation 5552 and the E side of wall 5965, as well as to establish the chronology and phasing of th walls in the area. Part of foundation 5552 has been removed already, but part had to left to prevent the collapse of the balks, even though the foundation is later. Part of the balk to the north was a floor (=deposit 5956) but below the leveling fill for the floor (=deposit 5959) it has been difficult to establish the nature of the soil fill that makes up the balks, since so little of it is left and since it has been divorced from its original context by the 1960s excavations. We are digging this balk in sequence with the balks to the E of wall 5965 and the S of foundation 5552 because we suspect they are related, but as yet the relationship remains unclear. Removal of deposit 5991 revealed a softer, yellower layer with more clay and larger tile inclusions. | |
