Stratum:   15% inclusions: pottery, some bones, few cobbles.
Description:   The soil color is dark pinkish black. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   The fill overlying 6202, 6141, was excavated in the first session. When we cleaned up around it, we noticed cuts running between the extant portions of wall 10086. We interpreted these cutings as a robbing trench of wall 10086. 6202 was opened as the fill inside this robbing trench. 6202 was closed when we came down on a lower course of wall 10086.
