Context: CH06SR_876
- A thin lense of fine ashy gray loose soil that is approximately 1M (NW-SE) X 70 cm (NE-SW) and 5-10 cm in depth. Most of it was much closer to 5 than 10 cm. The layer was irregularly shaped and difficult to define.

- Very black, fine ashy (almost like soot) layer, that now appears to fill a pit. The extent was difficult to determine at first because there are several other contexts appearing at the same time and there was much mixing (wind did not help). Several hearth bottoms and slag were recovered. Context at definition was approximately 1.4 M (NW-SE) X 1 M (NE-SW) but after removing contexts 0884 and 0876 the extent increased to approximately 2.1 M (NW-SE) X 1.6 M (NE-SW) and was approximately 18-22 cm in depth, though less so as it extended to SE.
Context: CH06SR_886
- Loose dark brown soil with an approximate extent of 3.1 M (NW-SE) X 20-30 cm (NE-SW) and no more than 5-10 cm in depth. It becomes less distinct and more shallow as we worked towards section 2. - Unclear if this is a fill in a cut that its 754, or a somewhat different soil in a depression at the edge of the courtyard; photos, hovever, suggest fill of cut.
