| Stratum: | 80% + tiles, angular pebbles, ceramics, plaster/concrete | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy clay. | |
| Notes: | The light yellowish brown sandy clay is full of tile inclusions. We remove this destruction debris, partially to better see the robbing trench of the wall to the east, and the wall to the west. During excavation, we save the tiles. There are two distinct types of tiles, one red with small inclusions, the other yellow with larger inclusions which is more crumbly. At least one additional stone of wall to west is uncovered during excavation. The soil appears to get redder deeper into the context. Perhaps the yellowish color first observed was from the crumbly yellow tiles in the context. Some chunks of plaster/concrete are found in the soil. At the southern end of the context we found a west face of the wall to the east, the east face of which was already visible to the north of this context. After removing the tile, we decide to remove the stones in the debris as another context. Tiles: 2 zembilia = 52.00Kg. Cover tiles: no reasonable preserved length, 0.17-0.19Pw, 0.025Th; Pan Tiles: 0.32Pl, 0.32W, 0.025-0.04Th. | |
