Description:		Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the WThe soil color is dark pinkish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is moderately sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:		This is a lense darker than the reddish soil that lies between the cut of pit= B76 and the pit north of this pit. We decided to remove it to see, if it equals B145, that had been excavated on top of it, and also ot reveal the reddish soil that possibly extends below B152. The similarities in the color and its inclusions of B152 with B145 prove that B152 equals B145. After the removal of B152 we discovered that the reddish soil continues below B152.
