Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the S. The soil color is dark yellowish red. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty clay.
Notes:   390 is a firm dark yellowish red silty clay with few inclusions of tile, bone, pebbles, and ceramics. It seems to be the last lense in the area above the red layer to the W, which itself seems to go beneath the layers between 290 and 310, which themselves are beneath those to the N in the apsidal building. Beneath 390 is revealed a floor connecting with the one to the W (beneath 325).
