Remarks

Remarks:

Note L 3 for July 17 & L7 for July 4, 5; prob this pit extended from the E part of L7 into the E balk contributed or accounted for the LIR2/P readings for L 7 (which was mostly the hard debris of L 19 and which gives an accurate reading) & L 3 (which was in places poss similar to L7 & to others of later deposition); we think that we have cleaned it out to the bottom
