Date:   2006/05/23
Stratum:   Possible fill
Notes:   The matrix of this basket is medium reddish brown sandy silt with 20% rounded cobbles. B89 is the continuation of B 88 to the S in order to define the limits of this fill with the rounded cobbles. The matrix seems to be similar with the one of B 88, only differing in color. At around 964.75 a series of rocks and roof tile fragments is uncovered that look like they could be a possible continuation of W 265. Once passing over the S boundary defined by this structure the soil changed into clay mixed with carbon flecks. It is therefore decided to end B 89 at this point.
