Title:		Substratum of a road
Category:		Deposit
Notebook:		1108
Context:		212
Date:		2014/05/06
Stratum:		10% of rounded and spherical medium and coarse pebbles; sub-rounded cobbles; tiles; bones
Description:		Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:		While excavating substratum 209 we noticed that the composition of the soil changed slightly. It remained firm, but it became redder, so we decided to excavate this lens in a different context. It is possible that deposits 209 and 212 both functioned as substratum for road 193. The removal of substratum 212 revealed the road surface which was revealed by the removal of 193 and 209.
