Description:		Top slope of the context is moderate down to the N. The soil color is light greyish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:		This is the hard-packed lens deposited some time before the deposition of pit fill lenses 412 and 421. In the process of removing this context we exposed a small, very inclusion rich area, perhaps a pit. This area is slightly east of cut 403. This deposit is the last lens of dumping fill in this area before the construction of wall 156/510, built into foundation cut 505. The construction of this southern wall for Unit 2, Rooms 7 and 8, sharply delineated this space as a corridor. Animal bones: 0.55 kg, few piaces burnt (all thrown).
