Description:   Top slope of the context is level. Bottom slope of the context is level. The soil color is light brownish white. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is well sorted. It is silty clay.
Notes:   B 214 is a layer of whiter clay that runs north of B 213. Bill was not certain but said that the clay to the south of this basket ran under it so we are taking this material out first. I am uncertain of its relationship to basket B 213 which was significantly redder than this basket and B 212.
This layer is also exposing a redder soil though not as red as that exposed by B 213.
