Stratum:   30% very poorly sorted inclusions of pottery sherds, bone fragments, tile fragments, and small to large cobbles (subrounded, rounded and angular) in a soft sandy silt.
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the NE. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the NEThe soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   After completing B65 Andreas began excavating B84. We excavated this context in order to find the continuation of the soil dense with cobbles and roof tiles that the removal of the extreme NE corner of B57 uncovered. With the removal of B84 we achieved this objective and immediately began to excavate B85.
