Stratum:   some iron
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the NW. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is moderately sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   We open this context to continue to take the fill in the NW corner of 4R(E). It is not quite clear to what extent this fill is diffuse (or not) with the fill taken in context 451 since they mainly abutted each other (the main distinction was the presence of large rocks in 451), although 451 as excavated partly overlay 454. The fill is a light yellow-orange brown silty sand. We close and change contexts when we come down on a seemingly grayer and looser fill in this area (Context 455).
