Stratum:   20%: angular tiles, angular stones, few ceramics
Description:   The soil color is dark greyish brown. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   We excavated another surface after 6669 that appears to stop at the cut in the section, which we have been trying to understand. This context exposed the entirety of a soft fill, filling a cut into the new fill (reddish in color) exposed by 6671. We'll take the fill into the cut and then consider its relationship to the cut to the east.
Additional note: Panos, upon excavating the southernmost part of this stratum, exposed and defined the beginning of th eline of robbing trench cut 6381 as well. Therefore, we may be able to read these two robbing events as contemporary.
