Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is compact. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   Dumped fill deposit 561 is the second lens from the top of fill obscuring the red floor that extends between wall 313 to the east and 332 to the west. It is likely that the fill deposit 561 and deposit 560 were once part of the same continuous lens sitting on the floor before the deposit was truncated by the pit cut 524 and 528. The removal of dumped deposit 561 fully reveals the extend of the red clay floor that runs continuously up to and abuts wall 313 and 332 and structure 452. The floor slopes steeply towards the pits dropping about 0.25 cm in some places.
