Description:   The soil color is dark brownish grey. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is well sorted. It is clay.
Notes:   13/4/16
We continue removing the grayish clay matrix started in deposit 360. We change contexts at this level because the edges of the matrix and cut (361) become much clearer/ more regular--the deposit is now roughly circular. At the bottom of the bothros, the matrix continues to be soft and clayey, but there is a distinct E-W line which may represent the foundation trench of a now robbed out wall. This possible robbing trench is also visible in the scarp E of the end of the southern cross-wall.
The matrix into which 364 is cut is much redder and therefore creates a clear boundary.
Many of the clay lumps in this deposit are quite greenish.
