Interpretation

Context 642 corresponds to a layer situated between the occupation layer c636 and the subsoil 644, the latter being considered the natural substratum. It is truncated by the pit cuts c640 (filled by c639) and c645 (filled by c643). The compound and heterogeneous nature of its composition may result from the natural degradation of the under subsoil c644 (limestones inclusions), with which the boundary is diffuse.

No finds were recovered from the portion excavated in the sondage. 

Context c642 is interpreted as a deposit resulting from natural sedimenation.

[Original notes taken on the context sheet : C642 is a layer below C636. there isn't any finds, and the soil is compound.It could be the layer between archaeology (C636), and natural (C644), so it's soil mixed. And it was also truncated by cut which is C639 (with cut 640) and C643(with cut C645). Excavate about 10cm then the soil become pale and without any artifact which may be the natural soil (C644)]
