Description:		Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light greyish brown. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is well sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:		7253 is an ashy layer. We have immedietly revealed a portion of a human skull. Jess Paga excavated in this area, and in context 6770 found another portion of a human skull as well as other animal bones. This soil seems bounded by a line of stones at the west and at the north, perhaps the wall that lay under 6765. We are finding large pottery fragments. An initial scan of th epottery led GS to suggest a 11-12th century date.
