Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   We are excavating this soft fill because it overlies the next harder surface (5853). It is probably leveling fill below floor 5834. Excavation of 5845 revealed a hard surface (5853) which is probably the same as the hard surface as the one revealed by 5843. Next we will dig this hard surface 5853.
