Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is dark brownish brown. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   We continued xcavating the robbing trench for the drain capstones 232. We decided to remove the fill of the robbing trench in two contexts, because the soil texture altered: it became softer, darker, and had a bigger amount of carbonized organics. The removal of the robbing trench revealed a flat dark brown surface. This surface can be associated with the construction fill for drain 232.
