Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is compact. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   After removing the black softer soil north of the well 346/671, Thanos thought it continued to the north, under a harder crust located in this area. 677 was removed in order to differentiate the crust from the softer underlying soil, though differences among these soils could be superficial.
