Description:   The soil color is light greyish black. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is sandy clay.
Notes:   This context is the cleaning of the highest fills preserved in the S part of our area. We created this context in order to make clear the boundaries between a hard-packed reddish soil (895) and a cemented black fill (894), which are visible in the section of 888.
We decided to sieve 20 % of this fill, but after finding a coin and a glass bead we ended up sieving 100 %.
