Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark brownish grey. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   6950 is an ashy fill under 6777, a context excavated by JP. We are excavating this to better understand the “hearth” structure and the nearby walls. At the end of excavations, we have come across a dark brown ashy layer with large tile inclusions and part of a built stone structure. We will clean above wall 6765 next to better determine a course of action.
