It is silty sand. Structure materials: cobbles/fieldstone. Material finish: rough. Material construction: rough face. Material bonding: soil. | | Notes: | | We are excavating foundation 6183. 6181 was bonded into 6183, as the stones of 6183 are larger than the stones of 6181, but there are some smaller stones as well. It is possible that underneath 6183 and 6187 (to the north and underneath), we will find a match to the possible pier construction to the south (6117); this excavation may also reveal the corner of a wall running east-west (6120), with a north-south running wall (6190). There were larger pieces of pithoi and amphorai noted in 6183. | | Context Pottery: | | Cooking ware. white ware, kettle. 1 rim.
