Topsoil in Area A

SU 8001 is a layer of rich brown topsoil with a few penny sized inclusions of tile and sandstone. No materials were saved as 8001 contains modern contaminants. The top 5 to 6 centimeters of soil were loose and the soil below the top 5 to 6 centimeters was moist and densely packed. The dense part of 8001 was streaked throughout with red degraded sandstone.
