Lot:   Lot 2015-087
Stratum:   20% chunks of compacted yellow clay, 0% irregular large pebble-sized pieces of limestone, and a few small rounded pebbles, with small flecks of carbon.
Description:   Top slope of the context is even. The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy clay.
Notes:   This context is the same as 53, so the soil with the clay chunks continues to another layer. I suspect that there are pockets of clayey soil. We change contexts arbitrarily to 56.
