| Stratum: | 25% irregular limestone cobbles, 10% rounded angular small-medium pebbles, and some small flecks of carbon | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is moderate down to the E. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. | |
| Notes: | This context was opened to remove the martyr along wall 18 to further explore the putative robbing trench of wall 18 and the extent of cut 115. We also wish to expose and remove the threat of contamination from the FT along the W side of wall 18, to open up the contexts on top of the E end of wall 33. We stopped when we hit multiple soils that need their own contexts. First another it to the S and parallel to 45. | |
