Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark pinkish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   Pit fill deposit 541 is the unexcavated portion of the pit fill deposit 519 that was dug out of sequence. The pit fill deposit 541 preserved the north edge of the later pit cut 526. Although assigned a different context number the deposit 541 is the same as the deposit 519, which formed the second lens of fill from the top in the pit 527. Also the pit fill 509, which was accidentally excavated out of sequence is the same deposit as 519, such that 509, 519 and 541 are all the same.
