| Description: | The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey silt. | |
| Notes: | This context is a futher clean around Well 742. This cleaning consisted in the removal of a top layer of cover stones preserved in a semicircle around the north - east side of the well. These stones laid against the lime pit 878. This fill was mainly made of stones and tiles, and they were cemented only with soil, which was present in small quantities. We found very few pottery sherds, and we did not find any traces of lime. As 891 was removed, a very rectangular well shaft made up of rectangular blocks and preserved in all its structure was further exposed. The fill we removed laid on a hard-packed reddish soil, which is preserved all around the well 742. | |
