Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the NW. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the NWThe soil color is dark pinkish brown. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   Soil below B129, and presumably under B77 (we haven't excavated that section yet).
At the eastern extent, especially at the SE, B134 fades out shallowly, blending into the rest of the deposit under B129.
At the western extent, we stopped digging when the soil contained less inclusions and was somewhat darker in color (cf. B138).
