Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. The soil color is light pinkish grey. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   Dumped fill deposit 557 is a lens of compact grey clayey soil east of the structure 452 which may be a platform. This lens of fill is cut to the east by the pit cut 527. The removal of the lens revealed a sloping clayey surface; the slope seems to be cause by slumping due to the large pits to the east.
