Stratum:   20% angular pebbles, ceramics, carbon, bone
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the S. The soil color is dark greyish red. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey sand.
Notes:   363 is a patch of darck greyish red floor that cuts the clay directly to the W. The inclusions include many carbon flecks and angular pebbles as well as ceramics and bone.
While the strosis is very floor like on the top, the fill beneath does not seem as uniform as the other fills in this area and is softer. The surface may, therefore, be the top of a pit that received some wear before 362 was deposited above it.
When removed another cut to the E is revealed. The soil changes color but is still contained within the 2 cuts so we change deposits and remove the fill seperately.
