Description:		Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is light brownish grey. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is well sorted. It is silt.
Notes:		6926 is an ash deposit running east west along walls 5632 and 6267. It contains slightly more sherds and larger stones than other ash deposits so far in Room B (cf.6917, 6906, 6901). We stopped upon hitting a reddish tiley layer. After we dated the pottery, we realized that 6926 might be contaminated by the 5th c. sherds and perhaps should also date to the Hellenistic period as the other ash layers (6906, 6917, 6926).
