Stratum:   5% pebbles with some ash
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the N. Bottom slope of the context is slight. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This is a cleaning basket in Bothros 6 (NB228) so that we can see if we have removed all of the fill over the foundation fill of W22 (NB228). It appears that we have and are cleaning the edges of the bothros and at the edge of the south foundations of the potatostone wall (W22 NB 228) at the north side where the bothros cut them in between. Patches of really bright red soil are appearing at the east and orange bedrock colored soil/rocks to the west, and it seems that the foundation fill of W22 (NB228) continues between these soils and attaches the foundation fill dug in B5103 and that under the stones of W22 (NB228) the potatostone wall.
