Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light yellowish grey. The soil compaction is hard. The soil is moderately sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   We open 344 to remove a rough surface context that seems to overlie a smoother surface already revealed to the E, under context 340 and running to the N. To the W of this context, we also hope to define the boudary of this context with a blacker soil previously exposed by scraping and cleaining activity. After on e pass, Panos does come down on the same rough surface with white patches that we already had to the E (under 340). In the W, we can now see the line where this white rough surface stops and a black patch of soil begins. We close to dig this black soil (context 348).
