Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the S. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the SThe soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This ashy, clayey layer encircles the pit dug (B5079 and B5080). There are charcoal bits large about 3cm in size. A distinct black lense appears to the W of the pit. This appears to be a part of pit. The line of this pit appeared more cleanly then what we had been digging so this basket was closed since some of the light reddish soil was mixed with the darker.
