Lot:   Lot 2006-016
Stratum:   Colluvium
Notes:   The matrix of this basket is reddish brown sandy silt, compact, with 25-30% pebbles and 10-15% cobbles. B27 is the bottom layer of B25 which appeared to have an increased concentration of medium sized cobbles. The basket expands from ca. 968.3N to ca. 963.9N. Very little pottery ws recovered in it. To its W and in a distance of ca. 0.5 m. from W282 is a darker brown layer with less pebbles and cobbles, while to the E is the bottom layer of B14 from ca. 966.5 N until 968.3N. To the S of B27 the soil becomes darker brown but with approximately the same quantities of cobbles and pebbles in its matrix. Unless something else is revealed in the immediate areas of B27, this will probably be the last basket since it is believed that we are dealing with a colluvial deposit that is for the most part undisturbed.
