Description

  • CH06SR0790
  • Brown soil in semicircular cuts 0729 and 0901 in room 38
  • Compact brown layer of soil spanning cuts 729 and 901. This layer was, though excavated separately, the last above bedrock in these narrow cuts. Two large stones rested on the top of this area (part of context 890) and caused 790 (and associated layers above it) to be slightly more compacted here.
  • There is doubt, of course, that the layer of material in the portion of the cuts that was excavated in June and that done in July do not match exactly. However, I am reasonably certain that they are - and I am supported by both my notes and elevation measurements from the GIS project.
  • Preliminary ceramic dates are ca. 350-ca. 450 AD

Interpretation

    • The fills of cuts 729 and 901 appear to be fills of the late Roman period (c. 3rd century) of earlier cuts, perhaps to build the first series of walls that (may be) are visible in Room 31, adjacent to wall 264, before the current walls were built.
