Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey sand.
Notes:   6899 is a fill of possible robbing trench 6900. This context extended further to the east than imagine when it was begun and its new, extended dimensions are shown on the top plan. PK has noticed that the cut on the south lies under a layer of fill. It is difficult to understand the soil layers here, so we will scrape the area between this context and pit 6840 to make a decision about where to proceed
