Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light yellowish grey. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   We opened this context on 11.5.09 after seting up the winch and consultation with the director concerning changing contexts. Per his request, we are changing contexts now every 20-30 cm, starting with this context; this method is being employed because the well is so becoming deep enough that it is difficult to determine any change in context while digging. 6360 was closed after approx. 30 cm of excavation. 6361 was opened below.
