Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   6700 was opened originally to clean wall 6421. We needed to do this to define the width of the wall and its northern extent. We were also cleaning the space between walls 6421 and 6422. After excavation we decided to change to a fill deposit, since we were taking out so much. This context revealed the western face of wall 6421.
