Category:		Deposit
Notebook:		1103
Context:		615

Lot:		Lot 2009-075
Stratum:		45% coarse angular pebbles, roof tile, bone, cobbles
Description:		Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:		Deposit 615 is a lens of levelling fill in the room west of wall 306 and north of wall 376. The deposit was revealed by the removal of the floor deposit 614 and is interpreted as a levelling operation for the construction of that floor. As yet, no cut for the foundation trench for wall 306 has been identified in this fill. The removal of the fill 615 appears to be revealing an earlier floor in some places and another thin lens of levelling fill in others.
