Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   6919 is the second layer of full from top of a small depression in the northern part of the excavation area. We are excavating it to better understand the nature of the depression and compact pebble and tile surface on the north, south, and east sides. It is now clear that this is the fill of a small rectangular cut with a compact yellow clayey floor. We have taken 2 bottom elevations because of the significant slope.
