The soil compaction is soft. Structure materials: limestone, tile. Material size: L. .43, W. .38, H. .18. Material finish: squared. Material construction: coursed with tile string course. Material bonding: none. Features: cuttings on the eastern side of the largest stone. | | Notes: | | 6959 is a built stone structure that abuts wall 6765 to the west. JH and MW have both suggested that this structure may in fact be part of wall 6765, which later was robbed out on the northeast and southwest. 6956 has 2 courses separated by a tile string course. The largest stone on the top course has 3 cuttings (the outer two are rectangular (Ca. 7 x 12 cm) and the internal one is square (ca. 9 x 9 cm)). The stones seem to be cut squarely. The back of the largest stone had a horizontal cutting (12 x 2 cm) and a circular cutting at the edge (ca. 4 cm in diameter). Excavation of the upper blocks has revealed another roughly hewn large block. | | Context Pottery: | | Coarseware. mid byz, pitcher. 1 bodysherd. ; Coarseware. mid byz, amphora. 1 rim. ; Cooking ware. mid byz cooking fabric1 bodysherd. | | Pottery Summary: | | 8 frag(s) 0.1 kg.
