Description:   The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   5199 was excavated to find out its relation to the surrounding clay floor levels, walls, and adjacent fill 5192 and cut 5198. This fill was also revealed by floor 5189 and had boulders and large cobbles in it. The most likely conclusion is that 5199 is a fill of dumped stones. Also, 5198 cuts 5199.
