| Stratum: | 20% very poorly sorted inclusions of small to medium pebbles (angular, subrounded, and rounded), pottery sherds, small bone fragments and tile fragments in a loose dark yellowish brown sandy silt | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the EThe soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | While waiting for the complete removal of the clay floor and the orange and clay feature we decided to excavate two of the remaining contexts (B114, B116) in the Northern section of the excavation which were on top of contexts that were cut by the construction trench of the EW wall. Andeas excavated B116 in a short period of time. Excavating B114, B116 was necessary so that once the clay floor, the orange and clay feature, and any other later contexts are removed we can excavate those contexts cut by the EW wall's construction trench and begin to have a unified sense of the excavation area's stratigraphy, making joins between areas of the same context like joins between pottery sherds. B116 revealed that in this area there is a linear and flat-based depression in a clay surface that rus E-W. It seems to be in the same orientation as the walls of the previously excavated area to the north of Nezi Field but at a much higher elevation. It is posible that this is the foundation for a wall that was robbed at some point. B143 is fill of this same feature. | |
