Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light yellowish grey. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty clay. | |
Notes: | 325 appears to be a collapse or destruction layer. The light yellowish grey soil is firm, firmer than that to the north (327) and the silty clay has some sand in it and lighter patches. All tiles are horizontal. Beneath the tile fill we find a surface that may be a floor and seems to go beneath what looked like a foundation trench revealed at the bottom of 300, on the north east face of wall 316. The floor is reddish and uneven. It runs up to the east wall face of 316 where the floor rises slightly to 87.08. On the east edge, next to wall 311, a narrow corridor of firm soil remains and appears to go over the floor beneath 325. Tiles: 3 1/2 zembilia = 69.20Kg. Cover Tiles: 0.22Pl, 0.17W, 0.025Th; Pan Tiles: 0.32Pl, 0.26Pw, 0.025Th | |
