• Old Context CodeCH06SR0840
• DefinitionCompact brown soil with charcoal and lime inclusions NE part of room 38
• DescriptionLayer of compact brown soil with prominent inclusions of charcoal and lime throughout, similar to Context 827 but more compact. This layer was rather thick and produced a lot of debris in the form of larger pieces of pottery and special finds.
• ObservationsThe stratigraphy in this area is rather suspicious because Contexts 838 and 839, contexts that we thought might have a continuous relationship with 840, did not. 840 appears to be covered by 839 and its relationship with 838 (which is on the other side of the cut) is not clear (840 does not seem to extend around the cut as far as the SW corner).
