Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is light pinkish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   Deposit 5748 is a surface under the previous pebble floor full of inclusions that generally do not lie flat. We are removing it in hopes of getting closer to the floor surface associated with the drain. Removal of 5748 revealed another patch of pebbles and an area of softer fill that may represent a bothros (5753).
