Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light pinkish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is well sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This context consisted of the soil bounded by stone structure 6853, and was excavated separately from 6849 as a matter of caution, despite the superficial similarity of the light pinkish brown soil. It had a higher carbon content, but revealed a light reddish brown layer which looks like a continuation of that under 6849.
