Stratum:   This soil had inclusions of pottery (.1-.2m), pebbles, and one larger stone (.3m); the soil is redder than the soil of the surrounding areas.
Description:   The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is very firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   We are excavating this fill which was covered by 6233. This fill consists mostly of soil with one stone ca. .3m. It may be possible that this deposit is a build up of soil from the floor surface; this is especially likely because it is located in a corner between walls 5483 and 6245.
