Lot:   Lot 2010-046
Stratum:   20% medium and large pebbles, tile, bone, ceramic, charcoal
Description:   Top slope of the context is moderate down to the S. The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy clay.
Notes:   7263 is a fill with large tile inclusions west of the line of stones (possible wall?) and overlying portion of it. We wonder if it is the remiains of the robbing fill of this wall. The stratigraphy in this area is quite confusing. We are continuing to a deeper than expected depth on the north side of wall 6775.
