Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This fill is composed of a light yellowish brown sandy silt soft matrix that has a small amount of clay. It is one of three dumped deposits in this area: 335 directly to the N, and an ashy bone filled layer to the south and E of wall 334.
The tile et.al. is all mixed as far as orientation is concerned, leading us to believe the deposit is dumped, not collapsed or destruction.
