The soil color is light pinkish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | 6736 is the fill under and south of wall 6426. We opened this context to bring it down to the level of the cut for the robbing trench for wall 6052 or at least to the bottom of he bothros which cuts wall 6246; the presence of the bothros may explain why 6052 was robbed out. In the fill we found two pieces of worked marble. We closed this context when we came down on stereo and a small pit on the southeast and another pit in the west. Both pits cut the stereo. | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware. corinthian relief, bowl. 1 rim. ; Cooking ware. collar rim stew pot (1000-1100), stewpot. 1 rim.
