Description:   The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is moderately sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   Context 6207 was distinguished by a cut into the packed floor surface on the eastern side of the room east of the courtyard of the byzantine house. The soil was softer and more brownish. Since it cut into the floor surface we decided to excavate it first, but must also perform a cleaning in order to establish its relation with the courtyard itself. Removal of context 6207 revealed a series of parallel N-S cuts which are difficult to interpret at this time.
