| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light greenish black. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey silt. | |
| Notes: | 6652 is opened as a circular deposit of soft greenish black fill under 6648. 6652 appears to be on top of harder redder soil. These fills are mores of the same overlapping and mixed up deposits that we found under the patches of pebble floors. 6652 is closed when it comes down on hard packed red soil. | |
