| Stratum: | Loose, poorly sorted, dark yellowish brown clayey silt with 40% inclusions (rounded fine-coarse pebbles, rounded and angular/platy cobbles, boulders, tile) | |
| Description: | The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey silt. | |
| Notes: | We are excavating a balk to the N of foundation 5552 left by the 1960s excavation. We are attempting to establish the chronological relationship of this balk to the balks on the S side of foundation 5552 and to the E side of wall 5965, as well as to establish the chronology and phasing of the walls in the area. Part of foundation 5552 has been removed already, but part had to be left to prevent the collapse of the balks, even though the foundation is later. Part of the balk to the N was a floor (=deposit 5956), but below the leveling fill for the floor (=deposit 5959( it has been difficult to establish the nature of the soil fill that makes up the balk, since so little of it is left and since it has been divorced from its originial context by the 1960s excavations. We are digging this balk in sequence with the balks to the E of wall 5965 and the S of foundation 5552 because we suspect they are related, but as yet the relationshp remains unclear. This context appears to be much deeper than other layers of the balk. Removal of deposit 5991 revealed a harder, greener soil with fewer and smaller inclusions, and small felecks of arbonized material. The bottom of deposit 5991 seems to be at the same level as the bottom fo foundation fill 5986 (the fill for wall 5965). | |
