| Stratum: | 20% fine pebbles, cobbles | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. | |
| Notes: | This deposit was excavated in order to understand the stratigraphy between wall 38 and wall 39. This fill is a possible levelling of dumped fill of a pit. The deposit is darker in color and with less stones than the red soil in which the eastern section of this pit (cut 207) was excavated. In this some reddish, rocky soil. The cut for holding the well head was excavated (western section of cut of wall 39, cut 187). Deposit 206 came down upon bedrock. The fill had no ash, or seeds or bones, because of this no samples for water sieving were taken. | |
