Title:   Martyr of pit
Category:   Deposit
Notebook:   1100
Context:   170
Page:   0
Date:   2007/05/24
Stratum:   Inclusions: 40% irregularly shaped pebbles, 10% cobbles. Many roots in soil.
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. Bottom slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is moderately sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   B 170 is removing the martyr around a pit and behind a wall which is part of the cut of the foundation trench (B 73). We are removing this martyr because we wish to take out a layer to the west of it. Having removed the martyr (which is equivalent to the earlier dug basket 104) without the wall to the north of it collapsing, we can move back to the south and take out the layer originally planned, which may or may not run into the martyr.
