Notes:   Deposit context 558 is the second layer from the top of dumped fill such that it is directly below the dumped fill 557, east of structure 452. Deposit context 558 slopes eastward and tile fragment that were likely deposit flat have sloped along with the matrix
; this evidence of the slumping of the deposit caused by the large pits to the east. The removal of the deposit revealed more of the red clay floor that extends between wall 313 to the East and wall 332 to the west.
