Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is dark brownish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   We continued excavating west of drain 332 in order to investigate the continuation of the road surface, which has been revealed by the removal of fill 392. Lens 394 overlay its surrounding surfaces. The removal of 394 revealed both a sloping surface to the east side (85.97-85.86) characterized by a light brown soil, and a flat surface to the west side, which is characterized by a dark brown soil and three cobbles to the western limit. These cobbles do not seem to form a structure and they are floating above the soil.
