| Description: | The soil color is light greyish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is moderately sorted. It is silty sand. | |
| Notes: | Following the excavation of 6398, two loose soil deposits were observed, 6403 and 6404. Their loose soil composition and their location on the northern edge of Bothros #1 (cut 6363) led us to believe that these cuts had a relationship with this bothros/pithos. A problem was immediately recognized in that these two deposits (6403 and 6404) were "sandwiched" between two undisturbed surface deposits: 6398 and 6408, appearing as a thin lens. The most probable conclusion is that these soil deposits are part of erosion events associated with the uncovering of cut 6363 and the subsequent weathering proccesses that ensued. Therefore, 6403 and 6404 will not be included in the Harris Matrix for 6363. (see also notes for 6404) | |
