Stratum:   ceramic sherds, bone, rooftile frags, some angular and subrounded pebbles and angular cobbles
Description:   The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This is a deposit of floor material in the room NE of the courtyard. This was a beaten earth floor that extended N from the lower foundation trench for 5741 up to the pedestal for stone structure 7092. We have removed this laer as far N as wall 7040, and while it is probably the same soil as that packed around the rooftiles, we are removing the section of rooftile flooring separately in case they were made with different materials.
