Stratum:   10% tile, pottery, bone, pebbles to cobbles (round and angular), lots of little chunks of carbon
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silt.
Notes:   Excavation proceeded on 8.5.2012 as well as 9.5.2012.
787 lies under 786 and 785, and in all probability the three of them are formed by the washed down sediment from wall 313, that is located immediately to its south.
25 May 2012: 785, 786, 787, 789, and 790 are a series of small fills in the SW corner of the trench, either slightly overlaid by one another or abutting/laid against each other. The pottery dates for all of them are Middle Byzantine (10th-11th npd for 789, 11th npd for the rest) and, as individual contexts, they do not seem to be stratigraphically significant. After group discussion, we are equating all of these contexts within the Harris matrix. - RM
