Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light greyish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:   6622 was opened as a deposit of soft black soil near the first step of the staircase. This deposit was under the step so we will pedastal it since we are not removing the staircase at this time. This deposit is cut by the well 6288. There is also a tree stump in the very western part which has really disturbed the soil here, making it very soft.
6622 came down on a deposit of more compact reddish soil.
