Description:		Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy clay.
Notes:		This deposit is immediately North of the martyr (Excavated as deposit 198). The eastern edge of this deposit was artifical, in fact it seems to be all the same deposit laid against the squared block (most eastern block of wall 44). However we decided to section this deposit in order to continue excavating the deposit on the western side of the wall 39 and to understand the relationship between well 39 and wall 38.\We had to stop digging this deposit (197) because it seems to be quite deep. We will first excavate the martyr and then come back to this deposit. For the plan on furtheinformation please see 199 deposit and plan sheets.
