Stratum:   soft poorly sorted sandy silt containing about 20% inclusions, consisting of medium and large pebbles (angular, subrounded, and rounded), tree roots and tile frags. Soil has been exposed for 1.5 weeks and is very dry.
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the EThe soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   Kleomenis began digging this small deposit of harder soil after finished B78. A bit more of the clay surface was revealed under this layer. As with B78, we came down onto a very silty surface, and so stopped.
We have decided to treat this as the same soil as 78 = 65, despite the fact that Kleomenis found it slightly firmer. There seems to be no tother substantive difference.
