Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   More pebbly surface remains, and we are not certain that we have reached our foundation trench, so we remove this pebbly sufrace as this context. This patch has much smaller dimension than context 5565, the pebbly surface above it. This patch overlies another pebbly surface, with nearly the same dimensions as 5564. This surface is darker and harder than this current context.
