Earth Remarks White material (possibly decayed limestone) extended 75 cm on each side of a "red brick" like structure; it covered it by 15 cm; piece of white material appear bonded with the red; mixed in with the white are some small pockets of 10YR 8/4 very pale brown; there appears to be an organization to these pockets; the white powdery material extends W--S about 70 cm & appears to lesson as it disappears into the balk traced in balk removal
