Description

  • CH06SR0837
  • Courtyard, trench with stones and clayey soil
  • A dark brown clayey soil with medium sized (10-20 cm in diameter) stones. The dimensions are approximately 80 cm (NW-SE) and 3.6 M (E-SW), running from wall 296 to the wall trench 0762. The context/cut is perpendicular to walls 296 and 50. Artifacts including tile, ceramics and bone were prevelant throughout context, but especially concentrated near wall 0296.
  • Took topo/spotheights that approximate the extent of the context. Cut into bedrock on the SE edge and context 0772 on the NW edge. Adam frequently refers to this context as the robbers trench. It covered 0788 over the majority of the trench but approximately 70-80 cm from wall 0296 it covers bedrock.
  • 8-10th century ceramics

Interpretation

    • Fill for a trench that was either formerly a wall or where stone slabs such as those in room 37 were laid and then taken, or both. Actually, it may be that this was a wall and wall trench marking the boundary of the end of the area with stone slabs, so after removing the slabs they decided to take the stones from the wall also.
