Stratum:   40% tile, ceramic, rounded/subrounded/angular pebbles, carbon, bone
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark yellowish red. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty clay.
Notes:   This firm dark yellowish red silty clay has inclusions of tile, ceramics, pebbles of all types, carbon, and bone. The area to the N is bordered by a floor like pebbley surface with many rounded pebbles, to the S by the remnants of the B73 robbing trench, and to the E by the fills exposed beneath 409. This context is very similar to 409, but perhaps slightly more firm owing to the greater amounts os sand in the matrix of 409. It comes down upon a pebbly floor, much like that to the N.
Pottery very mixed with Roman through 11th 12th and a few 13th.
