Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. The soil color is dark brownish black. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is coarse sand.
Notes:   19 is a fill that extended the entire length of the trench east of wall 6. Just south of pit 8 the fill revealed a block with a small round depression as if used for a door pivot on a threshold. 19 revealed a clay depsoit with carbon around pit 8 and more of the same fill as 19 to the north and south. We will excavate the fills to the north and south as separate contexts.
