Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is dark pinkish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   Dumped fill deposit context 559 is a lens of cobbly fill sitting on top of the floor that extends between wall 313 to the east and 332 to the west. The dumped fill 559 is leaning against the west face of wall 313 and is cut to the west by both pit cut 527 and pit cut 528. The red clay floor that extends between walls 313 and 332 south of the pits can be discerned in the scarp of the pits, having slumped to a lower elevation due to the pit disturbances. Removal of the lens 559 revealed more of the floor at the north and south limits of the context and another lens of fill in the center which will be removed as deposit 560.
