| Stratum: | 60% tiles, pottery, bones, iron, pebbles (rounded, angular) to cobbles, few boulders, (rounded, spherical), glass, few bits of carbon | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light greyish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silt. | |
| Notes: | White layer against wall 540 and NW of pit 430. It's quite thick and soft and contains a few boulders, tile, pottery, bone, and iron. It appears to lay on top of the red layer (756, 758). Probably a dump fill. Some roots are present too. As the work continues it seems that the white layer gets shallower going towards the south and west. A coin was found (No. 64) at N1013.52, E265.26, and elevation 86.70. Also, it has become clear that the white layer, at the east portion, becomes semi-circular so far, and possibly the W edge of the larger pit that has the pancake shape (red layer) on the east side. 5.5.2012 This white layer does indeed form the westernmost context in what appears to have been a pit cut through a dark soil laid against wall 540 (context 770) and the red layer underneath it. The bottom of this pit, which also contains contexts 752-754, 756, 758, and 765, also exposes the red material on the bottom and also appears to cut the red layer in a fairly vertical scarp to the east. In the bottom of the pit to the east, a small, shallow pit was cut which was filled with contexts 761 and 763. 24 May 2012: Given the presence of at least one join between fragments in 764 and 758, we think that 764 and 758 may be part of the same dumping episode. 764 may have been deposited at a higher level because of uneven, previously dumped fills (765) against the west edge of pit C784. - RM/JM | |
