Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. Bottom slope of the context is slight. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   We excavated the area south of Bothros 7 (NB228) in a thin pass from the eastern to the western extent of the bothros in order to see if there was a robbing trench for an extension of the crosswall in the Room north of Room F, W. A robbing trench had been found north of the bothros (B5094), and a stone in line with these features was revealed by B5113. After one pass, an area of slightly darker softer fill was revealed roughly on line with the known RT. After the completion of the RT of W22 (NB228) we will return to explore this possible feature.
