Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is clayey sand.
Notes:   7036 is the reddish brown fill of 7037. We are excavating this to better understand the area north and west of 6840. In the western area of this context, PK has revealed an oval of dark brown soil surrounded by red soil. Now we see that some of this soil continues to the north, and so we will stop and change contexts.
