| Stratum: | Sandy silt with 40% inclusions (rounded small through coarse pebbles, tabular and platy angular cobbbles and boulders, tiles, ceramics) | |
| Description: | The soil color is light yellowish grey. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. The soil color is reddish brown. The soil compaction is hard. | ||
| Notes: | We are excavating a soil lense revealed by the excavation of threshhold 5919 and associated walls (=10077, 10076). Removal of the top layer of the lense (=deposit 6040) revealed that a uniform soil lense with visible stratified deposits had been cut by a deposit with an entirely different soil composition (=deposit 6047). A wall stump is visible on the E, protruding in an E-W orientation below N-S 10085/10078, the E boundary of the room, and we think the stump belongs to the wall to which robbing trench 6048 granted access. Removal of deposit 6047 revealed a deposit of a different soil composition (=deposit 6049) filling the same cut. | |
