Stratum:   Fill of Well 2002-2. Loose, dark brownish red sandy clay with 1% pebbles and rare angular cobbles.
Notes:   Basket 85 is the first basket of Well 2002-2. The basket was started after the area was cleaned. The well lies just east of Gr. 2002-11, approx. 75 cm. Within the well, this basket is directly southeast of a large fragment of the lid of the sarcopohagus from Gr. 2002-11 that had been dumped in the well. We are wet sieving 10% of the soil and dry sieving 90%. The soil is dark reddish brown sandy clay that is loose with 1% pebbles, rare angular subrounded cobbles and one boulder. This basket characterized by soft clay lies directly southwest of a patch of harder clay at the mouth of well (B86). The basket was changed due to a soil change.
