Notes:   After removing the soil lying against the W face of the crosswall, which came down onto the orange soil we were digging (out of stratographic sequence) in B 5074, we shifted to this larger area which appears to overlay a floor (if not directly) based on floor elements visible in the scarp.
This context has an L-shape hugging another harder soil which we will excavate in B 5077. It borders the area dug in B 5059, to the N and E.
