Description:   The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   We began digging along the west scarp in order to excavate the high Western platform overlooking the deep pit of 844 to the East. We began with this context of soft soil on the NW most part of the platform of pedastalled contexts. We intend to continue to the adjacent context to the East, 855, which underlays this context and is more compact.
