Stratum:   Fill of Well 2002-2. Reddish brown silty clay with 10-15% cobbles, angular and subrounded and rare boulders.
Notes:   B107 is the continuation of the fill of Well 2002-2. This basket was begun after an arbitrary change of basket, but there was a slight soil change as well. There is now a predominance of silt in the clay rather than sand. The soil is still reddish brown, but is now a silty clay with 10-15% cobbles that are angular and subrounded and with rare boulders. We are dry sieving 70% and wet sieving 30% of the soil. As this basket is excavated, the well seems to be taking on a bi-lobed shape rather than a round shape. Three baskets of rooftiles from this basket were kept. As this basket was excavated, the amount of sand increased again. The soil remians similar to previous baskets, but now is primarily clay with a somewhat equal mix of silt and sand.
