Notes:   We are excavating 7045, a compact fill, to the very north of the area. In excavating this area, we hope to better understand the area where the earlier excavations took place and also the area around the clayey floor first noticed in 6919. When we finished, the surface that we revealed was looking similar to that just east of 5802.
