Yesterday is was decided that CA-81 will be extending 2 meters to the east to fill in the space between CA-81 and . This extension will help us get a better understanding of the rock feature throughout the CA area. Aerial photographs were taken and the area was cleared of all roots, leaves and other debris. Locus 3 was declared and it will consist of the entire 2 x 2 meter extension directly east of the trench. The soil is the same dark brown topsoil as locus 1 with a large amount of humus. Opening photographs were taken.
Opening elevations were taken for Locus 3 .
