Digital Object 2305
Description:
UE265. Colmation fill resulting from abandonment of the upper part of tomb T7; it predates offering 257 and formed after fill 270. It was made up of compact, plastic and very unctuous clayey soil; of medium grain, with a sandy shade and a yellowish color. Its composition was very heterogeneous: it had numerous intrusions of greenish clay (fuller´s earth) and abundant nodules of both orange and grayish clay. It also contained some scattered ceramic fragments, very few in number, and generally rounded. On its contact surface with the underlying stratum (UE270), UE265 was intermixed with it in alternate veins, which seems to indicate that the change in the origin of the sedimentary inputs occurred gradually. Its sandy hue is very characteristic of fluvial deposits cased by drag. Above UE270. Below UE257. Fills UE277.
