Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is clayey sand.
Notes:   6989 is a fill north and west of pier 6987. We are exavating fill 6989 to better understand the area surrounding wall 6987 and 6789. We have come down to a dark reddish brown soil with large inclusions, that MW wonders if if it might continue south of wall 6985.
