| Notebook: | 1109 | |
| Context: | 594 | |
| Date: | 2015/04/21 | |
| Stratum: | Primarily silty sand, but with traces of clay. Inclusions: high amounts of pottery, tile, brick, lime(?); some glass, charcoal, bone. Amount of all decreases with depth. | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is moderate down to the W. The soil color is light brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | High slump at eastern end of trench. Heavy pottery and lime(?) inclusions, some tile, bone. Probable surface, since the soil is hard-packed and inclusions have been flattened. This was the first context excavated in this trench in 2015. Three patches (contexts 594, 596, 597) of what seemed to have been some sort of exposed, trampled surface (as indicated by high amount of flattened inclusions, e.g. pottery, tile, brick, bone). The amount of time the surface was exposed is debatable, since the inclusions were often rather large (max. size: cobble and small boulder), and one would probably not want such sizeable material strewn about in the middle of a corridor. Perhaps it is simply part of the fill within the corridor that was purposefully flattened to prepare for an upper floor surface. 02/06/2015 (L Kennedy): Animal bones: oyster and terrestrial bone fragments, 0.27 kg, all thrown. | |
