Stratum:   35% total inclusions: 5% pottery; 10% tile, 20% fine pebbles-cobbles, spherical and tabular
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This layer has a dense patch of tiles and cobbles, but does not appear to be destruction layer. It is probably leveling fill. We are digging it to get down to the floor which we can see below ( ). There is no clear boundary with the boundary with the previous layer (5853) nor seperating the dense cobble patch from surrounding soil, so we are taking the cobbles together with surrounding soil in the same context.
