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:		6383 was opened after the context above, 6378, was excavated for 0.30. This was a methodological change as part of arbitrary 0.30 passes due to the depth of the well; there was no noticable diference in soil composition or inclusions. The context continues to produce little pottery or bone. Sherds that are coming out are large. Soil remains ashy with less clay than 6378. 6383 was closed after approximately 1.0m. 6386 is opened below.
