| Stratum: | Inclusions 10%: roots, pottery and tile, stones (medium pebbles, coarse pebbles). Deposit breaks into clumps that can be broken with hand pressure. There are patches of white clay as well. | |
| 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 reddish yellow. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is moderately sorted. It is clay. | |
| Notes: | Orangey clay within the north and north-east walls of the orange clay feature. B86 is the higher deposit in the southern half of the orange clay feature, south of what was excavated as B26. This deposit will be excavated down to the bottom elevation of B26, because B26 was dug erroneously out of stratigraphic sequence and pottery contaminated by Early Modern sherds from surrounding contexts; then a new basket will be started for the entire extent of the orange clay feature. Revealed more white clay, light and dark orange clay, and a patch of grey clay(?). Cut by two N-S plow furrows. This basket included only an exploratory depth of excavation over the area ca. 1001.50N - 1002.00N, before deciding it should be excavated as a different basket from what is below B86 in the rest of the orange clay feature. There were 21 shovelfuls sent to the dry sieve. Maybe the part of B86 over the southern spur (B89) is a remnant of the clay surface found elsewhere under the tile scatter (e.g. B51) et al. There is no stone packing under B86 in the southern spur, as there is within the 'walls' of the orange clay feature. So B86 over the southern spur apparently not part of the interior of the orange clay feature. But wait--B86 is much higher than the clay surface in question. However, B89 is still not part of the interior of the orange clay feature. Note: none of the deposits in the orange clay feature (B86, B88, B90, B92) have had bone (nor did B89, outside the orange clay feature, have bone). | |
