| Description: | Locus 1 is the topsoil of the trench, in the original 4 square meters of CA-68. It consists of the humus layer which is black and full of organic materials, and a darker brown more clayey texture beneath it. It rests on top of bedrock. Finds included some modern material and a small number of worn and amorphous terracotta and small sherds of ceramic. Organic inclusions include a dense concentration of horizontal roots of varying diameters (very small and fibrous to tree roots), decayiing leaves, and insects. Loose rocks were densely concetrated on top of the bedrock. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Description: | Locus 2 is the topsoil in the northern extension of CA-68. It is equivalent to Locus 1, except that the southern half of Locus 2 rests on galestra-like soil while the northern half of Locus 2 rests on top of bedrock. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Description: | Locus 3 is the layer of galestra between the S bedrock shelf, the central stump, and the N bedrock shelf. It is devoid of any man-made finds but contains soome organic materials such as roots and insects. It is easy to pick through, except where roots or rocks interfere. The soil is yellowish brown with a chalkier and sandier texture than the topsoil. Locus 3 also consists of decaying limestone. Locus 3 still exsists in the trench, but was closed with the trench. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Locus Number: | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Description: | Locus 4 is the bedrock shelf in the S half of the trench. It is gray and highly fractured. Pieces can shorn off with the pick. The bedrock is not a flat sheet, but it is not very rounded, and tends to have linear versus curved or rounded edges. A small hole was located just S of its center. No finds were recovered from the hole. Locus 4 lies beneath Locus 1 and is S of Locus 3. A stump, immediatly to the north, was pressed against the shelf. No finds were recovered from the bedrock. Locus 4 still exists in the trench, but it was closed with the trench. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Description: | Locus 5 is the bedrock shelf in the northern half of the trench. It lies beneath Locus 2 and is north of Locus 3. Locus 5 is very similar in nature to Locus 4. No manmade finds were recovered and the rock is not a single smooth sheet, but consists of several fractured sheets. Like the bedrock of Locus 4, it has more linear rather than curved or rounded edges. Locus 4 still exsists in the trench, but it was closed with the trench. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
