Interpretation
Function:
May be an occupational surface; it is not a living surface because when the surface dries out it becomes very crumbly
Stratigraphy remarks:
Seals against Bedrock 7 in the N balk, but it also covers Bedrock 7 in NE, because the bedrock curves underneath; contamination prob from bioturbation
