Description | The excavator daily defined artificial loci when removing the Theatron fill in order to separate material remains. This was also to account for any extraneous inclusion in the top levels of the fill that might have been deposited or contaminated during consolidation and reconstruction at the upper levels of the Theatron seating. The coarse strong brown fill soil (Munsell 7.5 YR 5/6) is harsh textured sand with some large ashlar inclusions. |
