Distinguished from 17077 by orange color and daub inclusions, but very likely that 17077 was not entirely removed in corner of SE, where more brown soil remained with iron slag (found also is 17077). We left slag in this SU because at this point materials mixed. Probably interface under dumping activity over collapse/fire destruction (17078).
