Context:   309
Date:   2014/05/15
Stratum:   10% of rounded and sub-rounded medium and coarse pebbles and cobbles; tiles; ceramics; bones
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the SE. The soil color is dark brownish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   We continued excavating the remaining fill of the construction of drain 232 towards the road to reveal the whole structure and to have architect James Herbst to draw it. We only have the edges of this fill preserved, because a later repair disturbed the construction fill. The removal of fill 309 revealed the edges of the drain as it is preserved as well as the shape of the stones and tiles that make up its preserved structure.
