It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | 6680 is a small fill deposit, a continuation of the fills from the 2009 season. It is cut on the north and east by a robbing trench and a 1960s test trench. Because of its position, it is disturbed and appears to overlay the east/west line of stones to the south. 6680 was excavated down to the level of a hard white surface. Above this surface there is a desposit of dark red clay which extends north from the line of stones down in two large lumps to overlay the hard white surface. 6680 covered these lumps as well. | | Context Pottery: | | Coarseware. amphora, amphora. 2 bodysherds. | | Pottery Summary: | | 15 frag(s) 0.2 kg.
