Description:		Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. The soil color is light brownish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:		We decided to continue excavation to the northwest side of the courtyard in order to investigate the date of pit 80 and understand the interface surfaces of drain 332. We started with the removal of the surface immediately north of the drain, because stratigraphically this layer overlay the other surfaces. During excavation a column drum was found (102.63/1061.09/85.56). Column drums were used as capstones for drain 332. It is possible that the column drum from 330 can be associated with the capstones of drain 332. The removal of the surface 330 revealed a reddish soil and probably the cut for the construction of drain 332.
