Description:		Top slope of the context is uneven. Bottom slope of the context is uneven. The soil color is mixed. It is mixed- see description.
Notes:		Cleaning basket in bothros 6 to see if the 1961 excavations found the whole cut. It just rained so the soil is damp on the surface. The dirt is really mixed with what has melted down the sides over the past 40 years and from our current excavations. A bit of plastic sack was found in the cleaning of the bothros so it has received a lot of disturbance in this modern fill. Several stones seem to have fallen in from the potato stone wall to the N. Several rocks, probably from another wall, run parallel to the potato stone wall. A wall here would close up the room with the pithos on the E of Room F and have appeared on the E edge of bothros 6. The E edge of Bothros 6 seems to have been over dug and cuts into the fill or floors to the E. There were many small roots hindering digging. One very large rock rests on the N edge of the bottom of bothros 6.
