Notes:   The matrix of this basket is light brown sandy silt, weakly cemented, with 5% pebble inclusions. B24 is a hard pack that after some scraping around it, it was determined that it was sitting on top of a softer brown reddish layer that was exposed on the last pass of B17. After one pass with the big pick axe the same softer reddish brown layer was uncovered under the entire area of the hard pack and the basket was stopped here.
