Stratum:   Fill on top of wall 215 and it contains medium grayish brown silty earth with 20% pebbles and 20% cobbles, moderately sorted
Notes:   We decided to move to the NE corner of our trench in order to expose the rest of Wall 215, or lack thereof. The soil is noticeably different from the Baskets we removed farther south in that there are more cobbles. As for the soil, at the beginning it was silty earth but soon after it became clayish silt. I feel that it is still the same basket because the silty earth part was very thin and probably just dried out a bit. At the eastern edge we exposed Wall 215 pretty quickly, but the western part of B 5 is deeper. The cobbles and pebbles also quickly petered out leaving a very fine loose soil. In the middle of B 5 the baket is much deeper. We stopped excavating B 5 when we hit largish stones. Found obsidian, glass, bronze and plaster. See pg. 6 for top plan.
