Category:   Deposit
Notebook:   1111
Context:   235
Date:   2016/07/22
Stratum:   30% medium cobbles, 5% small pebbles
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the SE. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy clay.
Notes:   This is a discrete layer/episode of wall collapse associated with 227 wall collapse/melt. Each probably represent episdoes of post-abandonment events, but 235 is distinguished by the inclusion of a concentrated pocket of pottery in contexted associated with mixed brownish sandy silt (very different from heavy clay packed soils above and below this lens). This reddish-brown lens sits immediately atop a very clear, well-preserved whitish surface. The contex is thickest at the west and gradually thins as it moves east toward the center of the courtyard. This context laps up and over (e.g. is later) than Structure 202, the cobbled surface to the north.
