Description:   Top slope of the context is moderate down to the N. Bottom slope of the context is moderate down to the NThe soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is well sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   B210 is the destruction layer of tile fragments that was revealed in the S and SE area below the destruction layer of B184. The Basket is immediately to the S and SE of pit / well (top of pit fill = B171). The Basket is sloping towards the north probably because it sunk due to the well.
We counted and weighted the tile fragments that we removed : Total number = 95 Total weight = 24,60. The soil of the basket was light yellowish brown. When we finished removing the tiles and closed the basket, we did not find a red layer (floor?) as we expected since we had found it in other areas of this room. Under the tiles there was a harder brownish yellow soil.
