Description:   The soil color is dark greyish red. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is moderately sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   Deposit context 618 is a floor that extends northward form wall 376 and westward from wall 306 continuing into the scarp. The floor deposit 618 abuts both wall 306 and wall 376, indicating that it was in contemporary use with the walls. Both the interface of the floor and the matrix of the subfloor were removed together as deposit 618. The removal of the floor 518 revealed an earlier floor with signs of burning on it that also abuts walls 306 and 376. Although it was expected that the floor 518 would extend as far north as the robbing trench 596, it is clear that the floor's northern extent peters out close to the well (structure 610). It is decided to dig the adjacent deposit separately and determine whether the floor revealed by the removal of 518 will continue northward under the fill.
