Stratum:   roots, tile and ceramic, bone
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 silt.
Notes:   7025 is a soft clayey fill with large tile inclusions west of 7023. It has many small pebbly inclusions. We would like to better understand its relationship to 7023, pits 6840 and 2929. We speculate that the large tile inclusions of the layer under 7023 may continue under 7025. At the bottom we found an area of more compact reddish soil with fewer inclusions.
