Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light yellowish red. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is well sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   Deposit 580 is a lens of red pebbly dirt sitting in a cut in the brown floor that extends westward from the wall 540. The pebbly lens was partially revealed by the removal of the orange floor 576 and then fully revealed by the removal of the material that accumulated in the depression in the floor 579. The pebbly lens 580 was laid against a cut in the floor to the south that arcs but does not continue; rather to the north the pebbles rested on a slight slope. The removal of the pebbly lens revealed a small pit cut filled with more red pebbly material, but both the cut and the its fill continue southward under the floor.
