Stratum:   ceramic sherds, bone, rooftile fragments, small pebbles 0 cobbles, subangular and angular, ca 15%. Some marble cobbles
Description:   The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This is a fill deposit in the NW cover of the room NE of the courtyard. Below floor 7251, it abuts the higher portion of 7200 and goes over the lower portion. We are likely taking out two levels of fill that were taken seperately in the rest of the trench, 7194 and maybe 7229. If this is the case, this deposit may not be able to be put in the Harris matrix.
Under this context, we have come down on the earth and ash floor, 7231, which abuts wall 7200 in the martyr section.
