Stratum:   35%. Ceramic, tile, fine and medium pebbles that are subrounded and spherical, glass, some subrounded and spherical boulders
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. The soil color is very dark brownish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   711 was softer than the surrounding contexts and was up against the robbing trench and wall 366. As a foundation trench was excavated for wall 366 on its N side, 711 was investigated as a possible mirror foundation trench on wall 366 S side. However, more compact soil was uncovered by pickman Thanos before the base of the wall was reached, and this compact suface was at an uneven elevation all along wall 366, so it seems unlikely that this context makes up a foundation trench.
