Stratum:   10 % small pebbles
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the SW. The soil color is dark brownish red. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clay.
Notes:   Deposit context 534 is a patch of floor that was overlaid by another patach of floor. Both layers of floor are imagined to have slid down from the edge of the pit cut 528, preserving their relationship to one another. The same sequence of superimposed floors was detected to the west during the excavation of slumped clay deposit 529. The displaced floor patches 531, 532, and 533 appear to indicate that the pit cut 528 was open for a long period of time or only partially filled causing the walls of the pit to collapse and slide inward due to erosion.
