Context:   555

Stratum:   70% fine inclusions, coarse pebbles, roof tile
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light pinkish grey. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   Dumped fill deposit 555 is a small hump of light compact soil sitting on top of the limestone block cut but pit cut 527. This context abuts a more orange deposit revealed by the removal of the leveling fills below the clay floor 550 north of structure 452 and east of wall 332. It is imagined that the small patch of 555 likely belongs with the context above that may have been slightly under dug. With the removal of the dumped fill 555, the entire top of the limestone block is now exposed.
