Description:   The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   Context 6391 is foundation trench on south side of wall 6313 in SW part of courtyard of Byzantine house. Revealed by removal of context (xxx). Foundation trench on west side has also been excavated (6322, cut 6323). Adjacent to southern foundation trench for wall 6318 (6328, cut 6329). Associated cut is 6392.
Wall 6313 related to robbing trench 5510 to south which shows the wall was larger at one point. However, presence of foundation trench 6391 on south side of 6313 shows that southern expansion occurred at a later time, and wall 6313 started out smaller with 6391 marking its southern limit. Foundation trenches for 6313 on east and north were likely destroyed by later events.
Soil of 6391 is light yellowish brown clayey silt with ca. 10% inclusions.
