Stratum:   Fill of Well 2002-2. Reddish brown sandy clay with 10-15% cobbles subrounded, angular to tabular, loose
Notes:   Basket 103 is the continuation of the excavation of Well 2002-2. The soil is still the same as the above baskets. It is a reddish brown sandy clay with 10% cobbles that area subrounded and angular to tabular in shape. The soil appears to be becoming slighty more strongly cemeneted due to an increase in the amount of moisture in the soil and it is sticking to tools and other finds. But we would still categorize it as weakly cemented. It forms small lumps when struck with the small pick. Because the winch has been set up over the well, we are now measuring depth from a point on the platform above the mouth of the well, 92.25m ASL. We began the basket dry sieving 90% and wet sieveing 10% of the soil. However, approx. halfway through the basket (at a depth of 87,90) we began to save 30% of the soil and dry sieve 70 % in order to have a better and more random sample for the wet sieve. The excavator in the well is setting aside 1/3 of the soil of every pass in a plastic bag. The rest of the soil goes directly to the dry sieve. Three baskets of rooftiles were collected from this basket. The basket was changed arbitrarily after 55 cm, although there was also a slight change in soil composition from sandy clay to silty clay.
