• Old Context CodeCH06SR0853
• DefinitionFine brown soil in courtyard between the well and foundation trench
• DescriptionThe soil is a fine loam somewhat compact with orangish-brown clay inclusions. The dimensions at definition are approximately 97 cm (NW-SE) X 1 M (NE-SW). Sides of pit are gently sloping on the NW and SW rim and steeper around the rest of the pit. The shape is generally a wide conical form, the depth is approximately 25 cm.
• ObservationsAlthough it has orangeish brown inclusions, this context was distinctly different from 0782, much more brown. According to Larissa, ceramics appear to be 6th century (mica in fabric) or late Roman to early Byzantine. Artifacts collected are exclusively from this area/pit providing reliable dating material.
