Earth
Supervisor:
C. Peachey
Designation:
Probe in SE corner
Reason:
Probe
Top Separation:
Arbitrary
Bottom Separation:
Average
Start Date:
23 Jul, 1984
End Date:
25 Jul, 1984
Interpretation
Function:
Poss pit fill, or eroded area that later filled with late material; probe in this corner had arbitrary limits, bounded on N & NW by Surf 16 & Installation 15, & unclearly on W
Stratigraphy remarks:
Highly contaminated with late fill & topsoil; may be same as L 13, but as it was not sealed under any surface, this is not certain; may somehow be associated with cutting of Surfs 10 & 16 & Installation 15, as it extends to the broken edges of these loci
