Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   This context was opened up in order to expose the red compact surface below 127. It is a compact yellowish soil that differs from the reddish soil of 127 but is likely the same fill as there were no clear cuts but rather patches of each across the whole quadrant. This context reveals a uneavenly continuously packed surface up to the squarish cut on the N side. We close this context in order to remove the martyr on the E side o find the rest of the cut.
