| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty clay. | |
| Notes: | This is fill for Grave 2016-09. The eastern portion of the grave fill was excavated in the course of excavating Grave 2016-08 as the cut marks for the graves were quite unclear. Structure 1016, a tile covering made of 3 tiles was found on the bottom of the western end of Grave 2016-08. In the removal of the tiles we discovered that they extended westward indicating that we had bisected a different earlier grave. The cut mark for the western portion of the grave (2016-09) was found in excavating fills 1018 and 1019. In the upper levels of fill for this grave, a few infant juvenile ribs and an infant femur were found. The southwest side of the cut is lined with some worked stone blocks (small and medium size). The west end of the grave had stones, not worked, placed in a semicircle. A cranial fragment has been exposed near the north edge of the fill. Kostos removed the medium sized stones (ca. 0;.25m in diameter) from the western end as he felt the fill went beneath them. These stones were laid against the stone lining of Grave 1990-41. There are concrete chunks mixed in with the fill. Wood found in situ (0.14 x 0.08) at N 1068.5 E 124.7 H 84.96. After consulting with the conservator (Nicol) we dug around the wood so that it could come out in a block. This makes it easeir to conserve. A skull has been exposed on the north side of the fill. It does not appear to be articulated with anything. There is a mandible under it. The skull is resting on top of the northern portion of the tile covering (Structure 1016). (Correction: the skull is beside the north edge of the tile, not on it. Half of the skull is below the top elevation of the tile. The skull is facing east with the base of the skull (foramen magnum) to the north.) The skull is skeleton context 1022. Coin 170 found at N 1068.60 E 124.25 H 84.90 | |
