Description:   The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is moderately sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   After digging context 703, we determined that the context was overlaid by the harder soil to the W. This harder soil was in turn overlaid by a softer brown soil surrounding C 566, which we proceeded to excavate. Found coin #37 (262.76 E, 1011.77 N, 86.65 elevation). Also stone bead very similar to bead found earlier today in 701.
25 April 2012: See note on 703.
