Notes:   The matrix of this basket is reddish brown sandy silt, compact, with 20-25% cobbles and 5% pebble inclusions. B40 formed the bottom layer for B32 and B28. It contained a significant amount of small to medium sized cobbles and reddish brown soil. After one pass a hacked out block was partially uncovered that seemed to be the same material as the other two blocks with the S-N orientation. Its E side was dressed but the rest was almost completely hacked out. Its extent towards the N has not been clearly defined yet.
