Stratum:   5% mostly fine and medium pebbles, angular tabular and platy, some angular tabular cobbles.
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This leveling fill the E half of Room F underlies fill 7197. It was decided at the start of the day (11-6-10) to begin a new context despite minimal change in the sediment conditions. Perhaps, different sorts of pottery, finds etc. While digging the trench a sherd imbedded in wall 5334 was found, and added to context 7163. A martyred step was left in the NE corner. The leveling fill never ended after a day of excavation. We closed the area, drew plans, took pictures, and then backfilled.
