Context: CH06SR_759
- Brown loam layer with yellow and orange clay inclusions that extends all the way across the unit except for [the area of] the wall trench (possible) in the NW side (adjacent to wall 265). In addition to the abovementioned clay inclusions there were eroded limestone fragments (white and likely bedrock), several fragments and lumps of plaster (3 bags), and an approximately 6cm [in diameter] lump of greenish clay. Also contains many flecks of charcoal especially between section 1 and 2. Depth varies from 10-15 cm and composition is similar to context 0772.

- 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).
Context: CH06SR_763
- Distinct cut parallel to wall 265 [and wall 50] that cut through the pit (Context 770) down to the bedrock. Bottom was gently sloping with fairly straight walls in the profile of section 1. The cut was approximately 65 cm (NE-SW) towards the bottom and 3.6 M along walls 50 and 65.
