Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is well sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   7052 is a layer of soil with many ceramic and tile inclusions. We see similar soil to the west, but we are excavating this as a context without it because of a great difference in elevation. We have finished excavating and the soil revealed seems similar to that nearby to the west. A small fill (7056) separates the layers, which we will excavate next.
