| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. The soil color is light reddish yellow. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is moderately sorted. It is silty sand. | |
| Notes: | 392 is a firm light reddish yellow layer with a number of fully rounded pebbles, some angular pebbles, tile, ceramics, and a fair amount of bone in a silty sand matrix. The sorting is moderate and the uniform rounded pebbles lead me to believe this is erosional debris or some other type of natural deposition that was bordered by the robbed wall directly to the S (396). This layer is bordered to the North by the scarp of earlier excavations, which shows a tile layer oriented horizontally. This tile layer is revealed when 392 is removed but has a small amount of red fill over portions of the tile. | |
