It consists of patches of hard and soft soil, it is soft in consistence and fine texture; when removed it is crumble and dusty. The feature is characterized by the presence of phytolyts. It is the same of f6 (we distinguished from f6 it in order to avoid contamination in the pottery) and presents the same characteristics of f7 in k71. [Input: Q820SC2.j]
