Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is moderately sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   6924 is the higher reddish layer in 6916 to the west, which we first thought a furnace but now is unlcear. We are removing only a small layer so that the tiles can be drawn. The resddish soil overlies and is interspersed with a tile jumble which at first appeared to be a furnace, 6916, fallen in on itself but after this removal could just be a tile dump.
