Stratum:   5% mostly medium pebbles, some finem all angular. Some pottery.
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This context is in the western part of the ‘pithos’ room of Room F E-half. It is truncated on the N by the pithos and abuts wall 5334. This section had originally seemed to be part of one continuous floor level, but excavation showed it to be a more compact area than the center of the room (7062). This context was removed in otder to see if there was a relationship with 7062 or other seemingly level parts of this room. Interestingly, the excavation seems to be isolating a more compacted area in the center area of the room, roughly under 7062, which has three contexts surrounding it.
