Stratum:   Inclusions: rounded pebbles, tiles, stones, clay - 30 %
Description:   The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey sand.
Notes:   This context is the filling of the pit we identified at the bottom of 888. This fill was distinguished mainly thanks a concentration of round pebbles.
Unfortunately when we were digging 893, it became clear that this was not a pit, but only a leveling fill. The bottom of this context is the hard-packed reddish soil on which 888 came on and it is the same fill where 893 was dug.
