| Stratum: | Inclusions 20%: very few thin roots, pottery and tile, stones (small cobbles, coarse pebbles, medium pebbles, fine pebbles; rounded, sub-rounded). | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the NE. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the NEThe soil color is light yellowish grey. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clay. | |
| Notes: | The NW quadrant of the clay surface first revealed under the tile scatter B51. Clay surface arbitrarily divided into four sections to allow for greater specificity in interpretation fo water sieve data--maybe there will be different patterns in different areas of the surface. Some roof tiles were lying flat on the surface; these were kept. Seven shovelfuls were sent to the wet sieve (about 1 bag-full); it happened that seven shovelfuls were also sent to the dry sieve. Underneath B102 was revealed more clay, orange in color with grayish brown patches. B102 was an also orangish and whitish when first uncovered. The entire clay surface (B100=B102=B105=B106=B108) has a moderate slope to the south. Originally thought that perhaps B102 et al. were the sub-floor to the used floor surface represented by B99. But if some of the roof tiles were lying flat on B102 et al, how can they be sub-flooring? | |
