Stratum:   mostly pebbles, tile, pottery bone, with a few small cobbles 70%
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark brownish black. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   424 is a pebble rich context S of Wall 366, W of wall 332 and N of wall 365.
As Panos digs, he reveals a N-S return of wall 366.
12/6/2008: The 'return wall' actually seems to be part of the stone built drain (426) found further to the N under 411. These stones are perhaps covering slabs. At the bottom of 424, we have these covering slabes, more similar soil (black with pebbles), and in the NE, a lighter soil with more clay and no pebbles.
