untamped
Left loosely packed
Untamped describes something that has not been tamped—pressed down or packed firmly.
The word appears most often in contexts involving soil, concrete, or tobacco: The untamped earth settled unevenly after the rain.
Tamping compacts loose material; untamped material remains loose or uncompressed.
