| Description: | The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is well sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | This context has been revealed for some time (since excavation of 6540), but we've removed fills 6561 and 6628, which laid on top of and against it, respectively. It's a hard, light surface that appears to have been patched just in front of the space where the upper courses of wall 5519 have been removed. The "patching" fill (putative) was excavated as 6628; context 6561 seems to have been for a similar purpose. The surface that 6572 is revealing appears to represent the latest surface that existed before the threshold (putative) was removed. 6572 may also have been of contemporary construction to 6571, which was a surface bordering eastern wall 5483. Perhaps both parts were truncated by destruction associated with fill 6628, and then were patched with the levelling fill and topped with surface 6540. POST-EXCAVATION NOTE, 15-06-09, S.L.: Contexts 6663 and 6649, at least one of which underlies this context, were found to contain two joining coarse incised ware body fragments of the Frankish period, dating to the mid-13th century. These sherds will stratigraphically change the dates of every context that lies above them by as much as two centuries, of which this context is one. Until it is decided whether there is some other reason that this discrepancy might have occurred (e.g., these contexts need to be situated in a different place on the Harris Matrix), the dates will remain as they have been assigned on the basis of pottery/stratigraphy prior to discovering this discrepancy. | |
