| Stratum: | 30%- 40% inclusions: charcoal, much rooftile and sherds, animal bones, plaster | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is uneven. The soil color is dark greenish brown. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey silt. | |
| Notes: | 1) We excavated heavily tiled area 5283 before 5301 based on the visible boundary distinction between the two contexts. Since it was revealed, 5283 has been described as the area covered by flat lying roof tiles within a brown soil matrix. At the boundary of the 5283 and 5301(263.00 E), roof tiles from 5283 overlie the hard grey soil of 5301. It is clear from this relationship that 5283 is a later fill than 5301. We think that 5283 may represent a leveling episode made up of destruction debris. The relationship between 5283 and the two contexts (5199 and 5200) which overlaid it in the southern section of the excavation area is unclear. is possible that the explanation may be that 5283 was leveling fill made up of destruction debris. Roof tiles164n=25.7 kg collected. 3)Together with 5271 above it (5283) might be redeposited destruction debris. Boundaries: clear change- redder level underneath with less rooftiles and more stones | |
