Stratum:		20% angular and tabular small pebbles-medium cobbles
Description:		Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark greyish brown. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is well sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:		This context is the removal of a patch of grayish soil with dense angular cobble inclusions under fill 6036. This soil was cut by "robbing trench" 6046 for wall 6052 to the south. Although the change in context was very sharp, it is unclear what this context is. Looking in the southern scarp of the pit 5935, we can see that this fill is a pit cut by "robbing trench" 6046. Another pit is visible only 10cm or so to the east in the pit scarp as well. Een though this pit continues down in the scarp, we came down on a dark soil with fewer sone inclusions, which is the same as a lot of the brown soil in the area, so we closed the context. This context is above unexcavated material.
