Context:   5131

Stratum:   25% pebbles and small to medium cobbles
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the SE. The soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   A cleaning pass over the area bounded by W22 (NB228) and its foundation trench to the east and Bothros 7 (NB228) to the west. As with B5129, this was done due to the rains and traffic through the area. No foundation trench was detected to the west of W22 (NB228). This basket was arbitrarily stopped after a single pass with the soil being apparently unchanged.
