Description:   Top slope of the context is steeply down to the S. The soil color is very dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   We open this context in order to remove a tree, its roots and associated fill. The tree abuts structure 5473 on the west, as does this fill. The soil is loose, very darkish. We remove this fill and tree and come down on a lighter, harder soil, so we close this context.
