Stratum:   light reddish brown silty sand
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is moderately sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   We open this context to excavate a small possible pit just ot the north of context 484 in 4R(E). The fill is an reddish/orange brown silty sand. Along the NW edge of the circumference, we begin to expose plaster lining the pit. The plaster continues to be visible a little further down, but really only on this side. We thus keep all the fill removed from this pit as a soil sample for flotation.
