Description:		The soil color is dark greyish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty clay.
Notes:		1) We excavated this area to try and see if there is any relationship of the clayey subfloor levels in the northern section of the our excavation area and the area south of the E-W partition wall. The North and the East side of 5302 are truncated by previous excavations. 2) Though it looks like higher elevation than 5201, they are both at 85 m, this area was possibly leveled to get above the height of the wall. Dried out and white at top, hard with many inclusions South, ends at East-West wall, bottom ends at yellowish clayey level without pottery at northern section of the context and with more pottery in the southern part of the context. This clayey layer continues and overlies the wall, but will be dug in context 5312. Boundaries: Sharp change: harder soil than below (5310) and has more inclusions
