Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the WThe soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   Under the layer of contaminated stones excavated with B33 was found a layer of soft or very soft soil containing several medium and fine pebbles, and a fair amount of pottery.
Alicia and Thanasis conferred, and found the boundaries of this deposit - this deposit will be dug to reveal the harder layer we are finding underneath, and to continue south until it the hardness changes. As we proceeded south, we found that the soil remains soft, but contains fewer small stones. The area revealed no architecture of any kind.
