| Stratum: | 5% fine to medium pebbles, angular spherical and tabular. | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty clay. | |
| Notes: | We excavate the second earthern floor found along Wall 5411. The pass is thin, but it still digs into the reddish brown looser soil beneath. This soil beneath also has carbon in it. As we dig own, we encounter tile. The removed soil exposes an outline of what could be a pit 0.10 to 0.20m south of the threshold of Wall 5411. Proceeding to the west, the reddish soil meets darker blackish soil. The darker patch will be taken next, as it was underlying the reddish soil revealed beneath the second earthen floor. This darker soil is affiliated with, and lieing beneath, a third yellowish earthern floor. The floor and the dark soil beneath and surrrounding it will be the next context. 5427 was slightly overdug, into the reddish and blackish soil. | |
