Stratum:   70% small rounded pebbles and small sherds
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the NE. The soil color is dark brownish red. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clay.
Notes:   Context 531 is the excavation of a diplaced floor fragment that has collapsed on the fill of pit cut 528. Pit cut 528 is located in the room bounded by walls 313 to the east and 332 to the west.
We believe that context 531 is part of the same floor as the clay floor into which pit cut 528 is cut. We also think that context 531 is the same as context 532. Both deposits are characterized by red clay and small rounded pebbles that probably made the substructure of the floor. It is possible that parts of the floor collapsed, thus creating context 531 and 532, at a point when pit cut 528 was not completely filled. Later the floor fragments were covered with a clayey deposit (context 529, 530).
The excavation of context 531 (floor with pebble substructure) revealed a brown soil that seems to be part of the fill of pit cut 528.
