Notes:   The matrix of this basket is reddish brown sandy silt, compact to weakly cemented, with 5-10% pebble and cobble inclusions. B14 is a pass to the W and N of the pit (B's 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) in order to trace the extent of a reddish brown soil that was uncovered in B10 and B13. Flecks of carbon can be spotted throughout the entire matrix of B14. After two passes a few changes can be noted. Mainly to the W of pit 2006-3 between 969.1-970 N and ca. 406-408 E a sandier ligth brown soil can be defined, while to the direct W of the other pit (B's 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) the soil has more cobbles in its matrix, is of a reddish brown color, and extends from the edge of the pit to ca. 408 E and from 970.75 to 972 N. It is decided to stop the basket here and excavate in the last mentioned area with the cobbles, since it seems that they are sitting on top of the light brown sandier layer that is further to the W.
