Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light grey. The soil compaction is stongly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   This context is a very hard, thin layer probably left over from context 680. 680 was also hard soil and in the same location: extending west from the eastern edge of the trench. We are removing this layer to reveal the red layer below it which covers most of the corridor.
