The soil color is dark greyish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is moderately sorted. It is clayey silt. | | Notes: | | Context 6983 was opened to investigate a brownish fill deposit to the south of the rubble (wall?) in the room NW of the courtyard, which was bordered and perhaps undercut by a reddish fill (associated with the rubble). The context was closed after redder soil was reached. We are now going to shift our focus to earth floors on the N and S sides of the room, after we remove parts of Wall 10111 and 6375 in order to clear space and make excavations safer (as well as preventing contamination and excavating stratigraphically). | | Context Pottery: | | Coarseware. amphora. 1 bodysherd. ; Fineware. 1 bodysherd. ; Fineware. 1 bodysherd. ; Fineware. 1 bodysherd. ; Coarseware. 1 handle. 2 bodysherds. ; Coarseware. basin. 1 rim. ; Fineware. 1 bodysherd. | | Pottery Summary: | | 4 frag(s) 0.01 kg.
