Stratum:   10%: angular tiles, small angular and rounded pebbles
Description:   The soil color is light greyish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   We removed the martyr in the southwestern corner in order to determine the line of a putative cut that we saw in th ewestern section of bothros 6363. The removal of this surface exposed a second surface with tiles. It appears that these surfaces fill a cut into the floor exposed by 6624 (cut 6665). This seems to support the idea that this entire side of the room was once built up against the cutting into the pinkish-colored surface exposed by 6624.
