Category:   Deposit
Notebook:   1110
Context:   1017
Date:   2016/06/08
Stratum:   fine subangular, tabular pebbles, medium and coarse subangular spherical and tabular pebbles, large ceramic tile fragments, large marble tile fragments, bone, concrete chunks.
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This context was started to find the other part of structure 1016, the eastern potion of which had been defined and partially removed in fill 1015. However, this led to the discovery of its extension to the west. The fill being excavated is parallel to Grave 1990-40. After only a few centimeters of excavation, a couple of scattered marble tiles were uncovered mixed with ceramic tiles. We decided to extend the context to the north to the south edge of structure 920 as this scatter of marble tiles appeared to be continuing in that direction.
