Description:		Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light greyish brown. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:		We started the day by taking off what looks like the last layer of fill at the northern edge of room 6 overlaying the clay surface (which may be a floor). Context 754 is the 6th from the top, and the first one to be level. It has a much higher concentration of inclusions than the other 5 sloping layers above it - especially bone. The matrix is very similar to what has already been excavated here. 3/06/2015 (L. Kennedy R. Valente) Animal bones: pig, bovid, 0.74 kg, all thrown.
