Remarks

Remarks:

There are a range of colors with small black bits of burned material; 10YR 6/1 gray is the most common, but there are several shades of gray & brown; in Loca 23 there are tip lines of 20-24 degrees to the E & S; in Loca 34 tip lines of 10 degrees to the E; in Loca 35 we did not reach Surf 31 because it slopes downhill to the E; we stopped digging in that level to keep the floor of the square level; 10-30 bones in every basket
