Context 5973 expected to be leveling fill for floor exposed along south wall of north side of room adjacent to courtyard on north side of Byzantine house.
Cut by pit along south wall.
Bordered on the south by mixed tiles (which cover most of the southern part of this room: may be cut into this context.
Small coin found in center of context 5973. May serve as terminus post quem for this context.
Looks as if below context 5973 could be another floor running underneath floor on southwest side of room because of its compaction, but it is rather uneven for a floor.
