Description
- CH06SR0855
- Compact grayish brown soil fill of 0856, courtyard near section 2
- The soil is compact and grayish brown with yellow inclusions of clay and eroded bedrock. Dimensions at definition are approximately 73 cm (NW-SE) X 66 cm (NE-SW) and 35 cm in depth. The sides are steep, except for the east edge where I think that 0845 and its cut extended and broadened in effect cutting/removing 0856/0855.
- Small pieces of ceramic and few bones. See context sheet 0845 for explanation of identification and sketch.
Interpretation
-
- The fill of a medium-sized well-formed pit for an undetermined function.
