Stratum:		5% spherical angular small, medium, large pebbles; small cobbles
Description:		Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. The soil color is dark greyish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is well sorted. It is sandy silt.
Notes:		This context is a large fill below 6037 and cut by 6058 to the east, 6042 to the south and the excavations of the 1960s to the west, where the next room was brought to a lower level. This fill may be the same material as the narrow strip of fill (6118) on the other side of robbing trench 6042. After removing the fill, we opened 6118 to determine whether the two contexts are the same. Although the matrices are very similar, the fill of 6118 continues much deeper than this context's.
