Stratum:   Tiles and larger inclusions (bone, pottery, small bits of carbon) at top quarter, almost no inclusion in bottom three-quarters.
Description:   The soil color is very dark pinkish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   6194 was discovered at the same time as 6193, the cut it filled, and at the conclusion of the excavation of deposit 6191. The upper third of this deposit was made up of a mixture of the soil and inclusions from deposit 6191 - it had large tile fragments, sherds, some bone material and small carbon bits. The bottom two-thirds of this deposit, however, had almost no inclusions. The deposit was closed when the full extent of cut 6193 was discovered (based on a change in soil compaction).
