Stratum:   20% tile fragments; pot sherds; bone; carbon; eggshells; small boulders and cobbles-sub-rounded/spherical; Soil remains ashy.
Description:   Top slope of the context is slight down to the S. The soil color is light yellowish grey. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:   6368 was opened when 6365 was closed. Although there is no difference in the composition of the soil of the overlying context (6365), we are digging the well in c. 20-30 cm passes in order to track subtle changes in the contexts.\
At opening level, the internal dimensions of the well were 1.08 m by 1.10 m.
We closed 6368 because, although the color looks similar to the context below it, it seemed like there was a change in the compaction of the soil along with more ash and charcoal inclusions.
6368 was closed and 6369 continues below.
