| Stratum: | light brownish black soil with 10% inclusion of cobbles, pebbles and tiles | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the W. Bottom slope of the context is slight. The soil color is light brownish black. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | We are digging the robbing trench found in B5095. It appears to be in line with potato stone wall and this basket follows part of that robbing trench which took out that potato stone wall. A layer of tile and small stones has appeared that is relatively flat across the basket. We couldn’t determine whether this robbing trench cut or was cut by the robbing trench S and perpendicular to it. We stopped the basket and moved to the other S robbing trench. | |
