Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light pinkish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   6716 was a fill context opened in order to bring it down to the level of the surrounding contexts. As we went down, the appearance of the fill and its contents looked similar to what was excavated in this area during the 2009 season. We closed this context when we came down on a cut for a robbing trench running e-w alongside context 6712; this cut turned out to be the the cut (context 6719) for the robbing trench of the e-w wall 6052 abutting wall 10086.
