Description:		Top slope of the context is slight down to the S. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the SThe soil color is dark yellowish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:		This basket is removing the fill of a robbing trench S of bothros 7 (NB228). It is in line with the cross wall in Room N of Rm F, West and the robbing trench dug in B 5094. Rain yesterday has left our trench damper than usual. The basket houses an ant hill so we are being careful not to get bit. The soil remains the same but there is a large stone in the middle of the basket which may be the foundation course for a wall. The cut of this basket goes deeper on the W and N and seems still to be part of a robbing trench.
