Name:   Nezi Field, context 387
Area:   Nezi Field
Context Type:   Fill
Title:   fill
Category:   Deposit
Notebook:   1101
Context:   387

Stratum:   large cobbles, medium-small cobbles, tile, pottery bone 60%
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   We open 387 to remove a tile and large cobble-rich fill context that was revealed underneath floor 374. The soil surrounding 387 lacks the tiles and large cobbles. These two contexts seem to be lenses of fill overlying another, perhaps more uniform, depoist of fill below, since scrapings to determine soil relationships seem to indicate that the same soft and dark soils runs underneath 387 and the soils that surround 387.
Panos finished removing 387, and we close to excavate the surrounding associated lense of fill.
