Stratum:   Fine to large pebbles, all shapes. 50%
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   We are removing the pebbly surface south of wall 5463. This surface is cut at its north by Pit Cut 5557, on its west by a N-S robbing trench for Wall 71, and at its south by cut 5551. It abuts Wall 5463 on its north, where it is not actually cut by Pit Cut 5557. At the north, west of Pit Cut 5557, we expose darker and less pebbly fill running E-W. it could be a foundation trench for Wall 5463. It is easily distinguishable from the very pebbly fill found under our surface in general. East of Pit Cut 5557, there is a similar distinction as we approach Wal 5463.
