| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. Bottom slope of the context is level. The soil color is very dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | We changed baskets upon reaching a color change while digging B137. We have determined that the N-S running arm of this layer of the robbing trench cuts the E-W running arm, since we round a line for a cut. We are treating this N-S running arm as the next basket. A large squared stone (.25 by .30 by .55), not in situ, came out with this basket. With this basket, we are continuing to uncover the west face of a N-S running wall first noticed with the removal of B65 It is beginning to become clear that this robbing trench MAY link up with B87 as its continuation, since B87's west edge is itself so linear, and lines up with the w edge of B141. Thus, B87 may not have been related at all to pit B71, as we had assumed it was. On the bottom of this basket, we came down on an orange colored layer with tiles lying flat, as appears also east of the wall; we uncovered this orange-soil/tile laryer on the east side of the wall as well with the removal of B117. The orange layer may signify the presence of degraded mud brick. [Later note: there is some doubt that the E-W running robbing trench is actually a robbing trench - it may have been overdug.] | |
