Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. The soil color is light brownish black. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. Structure materials: e.
Notes:   We returned to excavate the fill of pit 5629 after backfill context 5652 was closed. 5652 removed any possible contamination of the fill within 5629 that was left by 20th cent excavations (the scarp left divides the current excavation area of North of Nezi from the south Stoa). The initial context of the fill for pit 5629 was 5614. Due to possible contamination of 5614 (see notes for 5614), it was closed and we took out a context to remove the backfill (5652). In other words, 5662 is equal to 5614.
*Added later
Another level of fill from pit 5629 was discovered with the removed of backfill 5689. This third portion of fill is 5700. Thus 5614, 5662, and 5700 are all part of the fill of pit 5629.
