• Old Context CodeCH06SR0754
• DefinitionLight gray ashy soil with stones in SE part of room 38
• DescriptionThis layer consisted of very ashy, gray soil filled with many stones, rock, ceramic and metal fragments. The earth was fairly well compacted, and easily distinguished from the layer beneath. This layer also contained many seashells and was much less deep than 712 (the layer directly covering it).
• ObservationsThere was doubt, initially, concerning whether this layer covered or was covered by 753 - In one attempt to figure this out we "troweled around" a bit and may have slightly contaminated the intersection of 754 and 753. It is still not clear, though, that this layer was closed properly as it seems to continue into context 758.
