Context: CH05SR_546
- The cut was not uniform and difficult to discern at times. The bottom/floor cut is into the bedrock, it is two-tiered with yet another cut in the NW corner of the bottom tier. This last cut, approximately 10 cm in diameter and 15-20 cm in depth, looks like a possible posthole. This last cut was filled with black organic soil void of artifacts. Dimension of cut [outline] is approximately 1.2 M (E-W) X 2 M (N-S)
Context: CH05SR_550
- A loose brown soil that extends over the majority of the excavated portion of the courtyard. This context goes all the way down to bedrock in the east portion of the courtyard. However, it becomes much more compact in this area. Color and composition stay the same, maybe a little more clayey towards the bottom. Depth of context varies form less than 5 cm to 20 cm.
Context: CH05SR_562
- Orange/light clayey compact fill just north of context 563. Dimensions are approximately 1.2 (N-S) X 1.4 (E-W) M and is 8-10 cm in depth. Context had very little in the way of artifacts except for tile.
Context: CH05SR_563
- Dark grayish brown ashy soil that extends (lips) around the N/NW side of context 525; with large amounts of industrial debris. Dimensions excavated were approximately 30 cm (N-S) X 80 (E-W) and 20 cm in depth [see sketch on back of context sheet from SR525 and SM notebook pg. 21b]. Fills regular cut, though some confusion between contexts 525 and 563, see notes below and associated context sheets.
