Underlying 874. We dug this context in our plans to gradually level the scarp between pit 844 and robbing trench 749. However, the context proved to be very shallow and a hard context directly below was quickly reached. We have since turned our attention to the south of the robbing trench, as we bring that platform down closer to the elevation of the scaarp between 844 and 749.
