Stratum:   45%, mixed soil
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   Deposit context 484 was intended to be the removal of a pit fill cut within a larger pit, both syncopated to the south by the cut for the modern (19th c. ) boundary wall C-272. In defining the cut for the small pit, contents for the larger pit were mixed in. The cut for the larger pit was also defined. With the limits of both pits defined, it was decided to change contexts and excavate the pits in sequence.
