Stratum:   30% medium and large pebbles, tiles, ceramic
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is clayey sand.
Notes:   We are excavating 7190 to the east of 7138. We know that the soil to the west of 7138 is the same, but stratigraphical complexity has led us to excavate here first. Just to the west of 6821 are a few ashy lenses. The trench has extended a lot on the north and east. This surface, as well as the floor revealed in 7094, seem to have been cut by the robbing trench for 6821 and 7125. PK has hit a change at the bottom of this pass -- a red, clayey sand stroma.
