Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light yellowish grey. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is moderately sorted. It is silt.
Notes:   6371 is a well fill deposit opened after 6369 was excavated for approx. 20 cm. There was no noticable change in soil color or composition--the soil continues to be very light grey and quite ashy with few inclusions.
After some excavation, the fill of 6371 began to contain more clayey soil and more inclusions were notices in the sieve. 6371 was closed and 6374 continues below.
