Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the NThe soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | | Notes: | | This basket removes soil resting on top of a wall that runs N-S through Rm F, west. It would join at a right angle to wall 19 and 38 (NB228). Several cut blocks were revealed, one very large one (c. 0.70 by 0.70) and circa 5 more small blocks. The large block is cut on an angle on the W side. Part of the it was robbed by Bothros 7 (NB228) but it seems to connect with the stones which appeared at the end of B5094 to the S of wall 38 (NB228). The soil seems to be packing in the wall or the last remnants of robbing trench fill above these large blocks. Another very large block circa 1.3 appeared below the area of Bothros 7 (NB228). Two soils appeared. One was darker and filled with small rocks to the NE of the 0.70 block and the other was reddis and may be part of the E-W robbing trench that goes under the floor surfaces to the E, last dug in B5139. | | Context Pottery: | | Fineware. afrs1 rim. ; Cooking ware. with thickened rim, basin. 1 rim. ; Fineware.
