| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | We are excavating to reveal the floor surface described in previous notes (5406 and 5408). We begin at the intersection of Walls 5216 and 5285 and proceed west, then north. As we move north, we uncover consistent reddish soil of similar firmness, but whe it is removed, it exposes our yellowish clayey surface. Two coins are removed from somewhere on the surface, but since they are found in the sieve, their excact find spots are unknown. In order to further excavate our floor, we have to excavate wall 5285 for out next context. | |
