Stratum:   40% small-medium pebbles, rooftile fragments
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   Context 543 is the excavation of the remaining fill of pit cut 527. The pit was filled by 514 (mudbcik deposit), 509, 519, 520, 541, 542 and now 543. Context 543 is the the same as 520 and they both make the third from top fill of pit cut 527. Pit cut 527 is located in the room bounded by wall 313 to the east and wall 332 to the west.
Pit cut 527 and its fill were cut by pit cut 528. Now, with the excavation of context 543 we completed the escavation of the fill of pit cut 527. The removal of context 543 revealed the same hard surface that was revealed with the excavation of 520. Now, that we completed the excavation of the fill of pit cut 527 and we identified the outline of pit cut 527 we can see clearly how pit cut 527 was cut by pit cut 528.
