| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the NE. Bottom slope of the context is slight. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | We excavated the area deliniated by the RT at W19 (NB228), W38 (NB228) and W22 (NB228) [and its robbing trench] going east from the line of its cut (c. 268.5E) into the fill at the West of Room F that includes the floor surfce uncovered by B5132. One pass at c. 0.10 further revealed the cut at the West into a floor surface. It also revealed the probable other cut of a robbing trench at the wall in line with the crosswall in the room North of Room F, W. The fill at the RT is very similar in content and general character to the general fill to its east removed in this basket, although the line of the cut is more apparent in the scarp at Bothros 7 (NB228). The Western side at W22 (NB228) did not show a foundation trench beside the stone level of the wall. It appears that the builders filled in the foundation trench completely with tile and cobbles then built the potatostone wall at the top of this, thus leaving no foundation trench beside the stone level of the wall. With the exception at the west area the RT, the fill continues unchanged. We are stopping this basket to move to the RT, as it is clear what its limits are. | |
