Stratum:   light reddish brown soil with 15% inclusions including pebbles, cobbles, little clay bits, charcoal, and disintegrated mudbrick
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the EThe soil color is light reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This layer stretches around the bothros and to the North. It seems to be an undistinguishable fill. A group of rocks has appeared in the middle of the N area of the basket. These have been left in situ until we determine if they are significant. A large piece of tile appeared in the NW corner also. More rocks of the wall in N of Room F, West on the North side were revealed. The fill between the rocks in the center and below is the same so they were removed. Some of the soil in the rocks was slightly darker but below it was the same reddish soil all over this basket. Two other larger stones appeared but again are part of this fill-- not features. The soil increasingly had fewer inclusions but the color and types of finds remained the same. A new basket will be dug in the finer soil.
