Stratum:   ceramic sherds, bone, some subrounded pebbles, ca. 5% inclusions
Description:   The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This foundation trench was revealed below the foundation trench for wall 7039. It was at first unclear whether this was a continuation of the upper foundation trench or a foundation trench for an earlier phase. Because the style of architecture changes and because the soil in this foundation trench is so much harder, this does seem to be a foundation trench for an earlier phase of the wall. This is in the western portion of the room NE of the courtyard
