The soil color is dark greyish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | 6890 is a dark greyish brown fill of the cut 6891. We are trying to understand the relationship of 6891 to 6840 to determine if they are contemporaneous pits, or if 6890 is an earlier pit. At this time the relationship is unclear, but we have speculated that they are contemporaneous and that 6890 is the fill of a smaller cut (6891) into the larger pit 6840 contemporaneously, or it is earlier with 6840 being on top of the fill 6890 and having no relationship to 6891. | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware. ww plain (700-1120), chafing dish. 1 bodysherd. ; Fineware. pre medieval2 bodysherds. ; Fineware. slipped plain glazed (1100-1300), plate. 1 bodysherd. ; Fineware. pre roman6 bodysherds. ; Fineware. ww painted (700-1120), plate. 1 rim. | | Pottery Summary: | | 12 frag(s) 0.02 kg.
