Stratum:   Area to the east of the diamond tile pool and around the column and against its sides.
Notes:   Basket is a shallow exploration of the area around column and to the east of the diamond tile pool. The pass moving from the south east corner to the north east corner showed a higher concentration of pebbles (30%). Towards the center, to the south of the column, the pass revealed looser soil with light root systems travelling through it. In this area there is what appears to be a deposit of roof tiles. Towards the western part of the area three boulders were uncovered in line with each other and roughly in line with a gutter located to the south. The newly uncovered stones may turn out to be a continuation of this gutter, which is oriented north-south. In the north west corner the soil turns into a darker brown and has a lower concentration of pebbles in comparison to the center (15-20%).
