Stratum:   ceramic sherds, small rooftile frags, small to medium subrounded pebbles, ca. 10% inclusions
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. The soil color is dark greyish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This is a deposit in cut 7266, a possible foundation trench for wall 7200 in the room NE of the courtyard. It is narrower in the South than the north, so its function is a bit unclear.
Because of the shape of this trench, it is probably a robbing trench that cut through the foundation trench. This was then covered with the charcoal deposit, 7258
