Stratum:   pottery, shell, fine to coarse (mostly medium) rounded (few) to angular (mostly subrounded) spherical to tabular pebbles, bone, a couple cobbles
Description:   Top slope of the context is moderate down to the W. The soil color is dark brownish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   we excavated this context after 566, once we had determined that 566 did not run over it. It appears to be the next lens of our sandy surface (possibly a road)-- there are several sherds trampled into the surface.
We realized after excavation thatthis context was not, in fact, cut by bothros 548-- it did not extend far enough west.
