| Description: | The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey silt. | |
| Notes: | This is the removal of a blacker soil within the line of the N-S robbing trench excavated as 728 and above the E-W wall discovered in 744. We are excavating it to see whether this new wall continues E or is robbed out beginning near the N-S robbing trench. This context is bounded to the E by the patch of harder soil revealed at the bottom of 730. There is a greater concentration of tile near the topmost visible stone of the E-W wall. E edge of wall at upper level is very straight - Corner?/doorway? Soil to the E is harder, with red mixed w/ black. More pottery (red fabric) found to S. Context is not finished, Athanasis says, but we are closing it for this session. 26 April 2012: Perusal of the 2009 notebooks has shown that context 624 above (above 723, 732, 744, 745) ran along this E-W robbing trench, stopping almost exactly over the preserved western end of the E-W wall on one side, and slightly east of the current eastern limit of 745 on the other. Pottery for 724 was read as 12th c. npd. | |
