Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the SW. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the SWThe soil color is very dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   This is the lower section of the martyr we placed where the cut between Bothros 7 and the so-called "NNW pit" is. It is more or less clear from this context that Bothros 7 cuts the so-called "NNW pit." But further excavation should be done in this area to clarify the extent and nature of what I have been calling the NNW pit, and its relationship with the Bothros and the rest of the area.
