Description:   The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is mixed- see description.
Notes:   Cleaning of loose dirt and material inside well 833, in preparation for excavating its contents. Some material likely fell from context 831 directly above. Comes down on a cone-shaped deposit of harder-packed dirt, probably from an earlier falling event (top elevation 83.33, bottom 82.95). Soil is a mixture from different contexts.
