Description:   Top slope of the context is uneven. Bottom slope of the context is uneven. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is moderately sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   We proceeded to dig the Robbing trench S of Bothros 6 which is the continuation of the Potatostone wall (Wall 22 of NB228). This may be the foundations instead. A relatively flat layer of tile and stone rested on the surface of the basket. We pulled out one layer and there were more layers. This second layer was drawn by James Herbst in case it is a foundation. The tile pieces are broken and mostly < 0.20 in length.
