Description
- CH06SR0762
- Fill of wall trench (wall 265 and 50), NE courtyard
- Soft brown soil with few artifacts. Context is adjacent to wall 265 and extends approximately 60 cm from the wall and into the profile of section 1. Approximately 25-30 cm in depth. This context extended from section 1 to section 2 narrowing as it approached section 2. (see notebook and plan for sketches). After rain it became apparent that the wall trench did not narrow between section 1 and 2. This was not discovered until after removing what may have been 0804 above 0762 (see SM notebook for further explanation).
- Adjacent to sect 1 in Area1, this layer is covered by an ashy very dark greyish brown soil [0755] that looks much like those excavated last year in the courtyard that were associated with metalworking activities. In N/NE area of the unit near section 2, concentration of plaster and 1/4-1/2 inch flecks of charcoal [0805].
