Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the NThe soil color is dark pinkish brown. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is moderately sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   B158 is a lense East of the NS wall at 266.44 East.
We started its removal after a rain, because we wanted to reveal the destruction layer East of the NS wall at 266.44 E that possibly continued below B158.
In the NW part of the basket there is a large rectangular stone that seems as if fallen. In the beginning we thought that it belongs to B148, but then we realised that it continues at a deeper level than that of B158, so we did not remove it.
We stopped B158 when we reached a layer of harder brown soil. Its difference with B158 is not very clear. So we considered it better to stop B158 and examine the new layer in a different basket.
