Description: | Top slope of the context is uneven. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. | |
Notes: | We excavated a laywer with many clear inclusions to see if it is a floor or subfloor level. Remaining clay and brownish soil indicated that it was possibly a subfloor level where clay mixes with dirt. A more compact filled with Flattened tiles appeared underneath. This layer did not give a clear enough indication o say whether it was destruction debris, as from a roof collapsing, or whether it was fill meant to level the floor above (5189), the rooftiles in the context below indicated later that this context was not a collapsed layer in place, as rooftile should be over destruction debris. Instead this seemed to be leveling fill. | |
