Stratum:   fine to coarse subrounded to angular spherical to tabular pebbles, bone, bits of vrachos
Description:   Top slope of the context is gradual down to the SW. The soil color is light greyish brown. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is moderately sorted. It is silt.
Notes:   the top point for this context was accidentally taken further east along the top of cut 497, at a point that is not within the context. The resulting elevation was 81.18, which was 5-10cm higher than the elevation of the context.
We removed this context at this point because it was small and at risk of collapse. It had been exposed since the end of last session and was therefore quite parched and crumbly.
