Layer of accumulation in the southern half of Room G2, bounded in the north by a line of rubble associated with SU 6003. Soil samples taken indicated that 6002 and 6003 should be considered separate contexts. The presence of disarticulated human remains supports the hypothesis of a mostly natural colluvial deposit.
