Stratum:   10% inclusions: much charcoal, white lime or clay (fine particles up to 0.05), some bone, some pottery frags, VERY ashy
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light yellowish grey. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is well sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   We opened deposit 6374 because we detected a subtle change in the soil composition from the previous context (6371). 6374 seems to contain more clay. It is still very ashey and has many particulate white inclusions, and there seems not to be a difference in the amount or type of inclusions.
